Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000130.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a sole source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21. The justification authorizes the procurement of commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold without full competition.

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase four units, with an option for four additional units, of a STRUT A/C DIAG R/H component (National Stock Number 1560-01-379-0341, Part Number 100838-4) for the MH-60T aircraft. This item is required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, or damage. The sole source is BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., Combat Mission Systems, located at 7822 South 48th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85044-5313 (UEI: TJ6PLVEXMA47). The justification is based on "Only One Source Is Available," citing that BAE Systems is the original equipment manufacturer that owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings. The Government does not possess manufacturing rights, and the item is the only one approved by USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter. USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned the item an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, requiring direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using multiple methods, including market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries.
