Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000303.pdf

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

The Coast Guard seeks to procure 8 units of MT FOR RPU-430 (National Stock Number 1560-01-HS1-9047, Part Number 597-2172-101) on a brand name basis for the MH-60T aircraft. This item is required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The suggested sources are Rockwell Collins, Inc. (Cedar Rapids, IA; UEI: SWBKVD2EKUH7) and Intertrade Limited (Cedar Rapids, IA; UEI: GY4DM3WE2JS8). The justification cites a brand name restriction under FAR 12.102(a) because Rockwell Collins France (Cage Code F5491) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and sole approved source for this component. Rockwell Collins owns all technical data and rights, and the item is the only one approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
