Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000157.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 12.102(a)) document submitted by the U.S. Coast Guard for a restricted competition acquisition.

The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seeks to procure specialized replacement parts for the MH-60T aircraft on a sole source basis from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, located at 6900 Main Street, Stratford, CT 06614-1378 (UEI: UTJWTSLMFNG4). The procurement includes 48 units of a Support Assembly (National Stock Number 1560-01-HS2-2867, Part Number 70307-82010-041) and 16 units of a SHIM (National Stock Number 5365-01-343-9769, Part Number 70305-22117-101). These items are required for routine maintenance, replacement due to failures, corrosion, and damage to the MH-60T helicopter.

The justification is based on the "Only One Source Is Available" rationale under FAR 12.102(a). Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holder of all intellectual property rights, designs and manufactures these specialized items to meet critical operational and reliability requirements. The items require unique production techniques and sophisticated testing that only the OEM can provide. The Government does not possess technical data or specifications necessary to manufacture these items independently, and they have been approved solely by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. Additionally, USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned an Acquisition Method Code of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries.
