Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000093.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b), documenting a sole-source acquisition.

The contracting action covers the procurement of three units of a STATIX LEG ASSY (National Stock Number 1560-01-HS3-5033, Part Number 032017) for the MH-60T helicopter, with an option quantity of three additional units. The item is required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The sole source justification is supported by FAR 12.102(a) authority, citing that only one source is reasonably available. The suggested source is TRAKKA USA LLC, located at 4275 Lena Rd, Unit 103, Bradenton, FL 34211-9535 (UEI: N6WHW B55KMR1). The justification rationale establishes that TRAKKA USA LLC, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with Cage Code 6CF53, owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The item is characterized as complex, requiring critical operational and reliability specifications that demand unique production techniques and extensive testing. The Government possesses no rights to the technical data, and it is uneconomical to purchase from alternative sources. Additionally, the item is the only configuration approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter, and USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned it an Acquisition Method Code of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the manufacturer is required. Price reasonableness determination methods selected include market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
