Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000159.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line are purchasing two modification kits for MH-60T aircraft engines on a sole source basis from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (UEI: UTJWTSLMFNG4), located at 6900 Main Street, Stratford, CT 06614-1385.

The procurement covers four each of MOD KIT NO 2 ENGINE (National Stock Number 6620-01-HS2-2475, Part Number 70070-55668-012) and four each of MOD KIT NO 1 ENGINE (National Stock Number 6620-01-HS2-2473, Part Number 70070-55668-013). These items are required for replacement during routine maintenance of the MH-60T helicopter due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The justification for sole source acquisition is based on Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation's status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) holding all technical data, specifications, and drawing rights essential for manufacturing these complex items that must meet critical operational and reliability requirements. The items are the only ones approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T and have been assigned an Acquisition Method Code of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer employed multiple fair and reasonable price determination methods, including market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
