Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000164.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). The justification authorizes a sole source procurement from Sikorsky Aircraft, located at 6900 Main Street, Stratford, CT 06614-1385 (UEI: UTJWTSLMFNG4).

The Coast Guard seeks to procure 8 units of a Hatch Assembly (National Stock Number 5340-01-HS1-4209, Part Number 70500-82119-061) for the MH-60T aircraft. This component is required for routine maintenance replacement due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the basis for restricting competition. The rationale explains that Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The Government does not possess these rights and has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase elsewhere. The item is the only one approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. Additionally, USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned an Acquisition Method Code of 3, requiring direct purchase from the actual manufacturer. The Coast Guard is conducting a sole source acquisition with market research, price comparison, current price list review, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to IGCE as the fair and reasonable price determination methods.
