This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a brand name acquisition exemption from full and open competition by the U.S. Coast Guard under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21.

The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seeks to procure a Bladder Assembly (National Stock Number 4730-01-HS2-9206, Part Number HM043-611-11) in a quantity of 2 each, with an option quantity of 2 each, for use on MH-60T aircraft. The item is required for routine maintenance replacement due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The sole source is Robertson Fuel Systems, LLC, located at 800 W Carver Rd Ste 101, Tempe, Arizona 85284-5264 (UEI: G4M3KUF95AL3).

The justification for brand name acquisition is based on Robertson Fuel Systems being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holding exclusive design and manufacturing rights to this specialized component. The item is the only version approved by the USCG Aircraft Configurations Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter, and it requires unique production techniques and sophisticated testing. An Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 5 has been assigned, indicating direct acquisition from the prime contractor. Fair and reasonable price determination methods selected include market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
