Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000123.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification and Authorization (J&A) document for a sole-source acquisition of commercial products and services under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The document justifies restricting competition based on only one source being available, citing exclusivity agreements, urgency, or industrial mobilization needs.

The acquisition involves a wheel subassembly (OUTB) for the MH-60T aircraft, with a quantity of 4 units and an option quantity of 2 units. The item is identified by National Stock Number 1630-01-193-3747 and part number 5004877, required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The sole source is Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation, located at 1204 Massillon Road, Akron, Ohio 11306-4188 (UEI: GNCCDKLN2GD3). The justification for sole-source procurement emphasizes that Meggitt, as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), possesses exclusive rights to technical data, specifications, and drawings critical for manufacturing this item. The wheel subassembly requires unique production techniques and extensive testing, and only Meggitt is approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on MH-60T helicopters. Additionally, the USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, requiring direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through market research, current price lists, comparisons with similar items in related industries, and comparisons to the IGCE (Independent Government Cost Estimate).
