Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000201.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for the U.S. Coast Guard supporting a non-competitive sole source procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The procurement covers a Drum Assembly (Part Number 42315-49, National Stock Number 3950-01-396-7320) for the MH-60T helicopter, with a quantity of 10 units and an option quantity of 10 additional units. The item is required by the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The sole source justification identifies Hornet Acquisition Co., LLC (formerly Goodrich), located at 3355 E La Palma Avenue, Anaheim, California 92806 (UEI: DP6VFUMMTJC8), as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and only authorized source. The rationale establishes that Hornet Acquisition Co. owns all technical data, specifications, and manufacturing drawings; the item is critical to aircraft and aircrew safety as the only option approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board; and an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3 requires procurement directly from the actual contractor. The Coast Guard conducted a sole source acquisition based on the determination that purchasing from any entity other than the OEM would compromise aircraft safety. The contracting officer employed multiple fair and reasonable price determination methods, including market research, comparison of proposed pricing with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to IGCE (Independent Government Cost Estimate).
