Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000237.pdf

This is a Justification and Authorization (J&A) document for a non-competitive procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21.

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seeks to procure 50 each (with an option for 50 additional) screw shoulder components (National Stock Number 5305-01-HS1-3554, Part Number 64427) for use on MH-60T aircraft. These items are required for routine maintenance replacement due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The procurement is justified on a brand name basis, with ADAMS RITE AEROSPACE, INC (UEI: HMGCMHNBGLU9) located at 4141 N Palm Street, Fullerton, California 92835 identified as the sole source manufacturer. The Coast Guard asserts that this item is the only manufacturer-approved component for the MH-60T helicopter, with an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 5 assigned by USCG Aviation Engineering, indicating that procurement must occur only from the prime contractor despite engineering data identifying the Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code and part number of a source other than the prime. Fair and Reasonable Price (FAR) determination methods selected include market research, comparison of proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
