Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000116.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document submitted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a). The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seek to procure three specific items on a sole source basis for the MH-60T aircraft to support fleet expansion. The required items are: T-STRAP-FWD OUT (NSN 1680-01-HS1-9508, P/N 70209-82546-131, qty 4 each); RETAINER, SEAL (NSN 5325-01-341-5971, P/N 70205-26003-105, qty 4 each); and WINDOW PANEL, A/C (NSN 1560-01-348-0753, P/N 70203-23002-118, qty 4 each). The sole source for these items is Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (UEI: UTJWTSLMFNG4), located at 6900 Main Street, Stratford, CT 06614-1378.

The justification for sole source acquisition is based on Sikorsky's status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Cage Code 78286, as it owns all technical rights and proprietary specifications required for manufacture. The items require unique production techniques and sophisticated testing that only the OEM can provide. The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Engineering has assigned the items an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating procurement directly from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
