Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000119.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a commercial products acquisition under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard seeks to purchase four (4) each Assembly, Beam units (National Stock Number 1560-01-467-3395, Part Number 70209-84000-047) on a sole source basis for the Avalon Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line used on the MH-60T aircraft. The item is required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The suggested source is Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, located at 6900 Main St., Stratford, CT 06614-1378 (UEI: UTJWTSLMFNG4, Cage Code 78286). The justification for sole source acquisition cites that Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The component requires unique production techniques and extensive testing, and the government does not possess rights to the technical data or drawings. The item is the only one approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter, and USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned it an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer employed multiple fair and reasonable price determination methods including market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
