Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000180.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a commercial products and services acquisition below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The acquisition seeks five antennas (National Stock Number 5985-01-475-4764, Part Number 121-040130-01) for the MH-60T aircraft, required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The sole source is Chelton Avionics Inc., located at 6400 Wilkinson Drive, Prescott, Arizona 86301-6164 (UEI: F5THA4R2JJW4). The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the authority under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The rationale emphasizes that Chelton Avionics Inc., as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The items are complex, must meet critical operational and reliability requirements, and cannot be economically purchased elsewhere. USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned these items an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, requiring direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination methods include market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
