Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000166.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification and Authorization (J&A) document for a sole source acquisition of specialized helicopter components from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. The acquisition is justified under FAR 12.102(a) based on the "Only One Source Is Available" exception, citing exclusive manufacturing rights and the necessity of items designed specifically for the MH-60T helicopter.

The acquisition covers five line items totaling 48 units of replacement parts for the MH-60T aircraft fleet expansion: 8 each of Keeper Helicopters, Battery C Boxes, Duct Assemblies, and Reservoir Assemblies, plus 16 Rod Assemblies with Pitch Control. All items are manufactured exclusively by Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., located at 6900 Main Street, Stratford, Connecticut 06614 (UEI: UTJWTSLMFNG4). The justification establishes that Sikorsky, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holder of all technical data and specifications, is the only approved source under the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board. An Acquisition Method Code of 3 applies, indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. For price reasonableness determination, the contracting officer employed market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE standards.
