Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000045.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) intends to purchase 5 Whip Antennas (NSN 5985-01-393-2383, Part Number 18-12P4) for an MH-60T aircraft, which are required for replacement during routine maintenance. The procurement is a brand name acquisition from Chelton Limited, located in Marlow, United Kingdom, as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive technical rights to the item.

The justification indicates that these specialized antennas are critical and complex, with Chelton Limited being the only approved source by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board. The USCG has assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 5 to this procurement. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods including market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries.
