Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000305.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for a commercial products purchase at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) under FAR 12.102(a).

The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to procure two items for the MH-60T helicopter on a single source basis for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The items required are: 30 each AC Contractor (National Stock Number 6110-01-105-6815, Part Number D-56B) and 10 each Magnetic Contractor (National Stock Number 6110-01-687-1323, Part Number D56C), with an option quantity of 19 additional Magnetic Contractors. The sole source for these items is TE Connectivity Corporation, located at 175 N Diamond Street, Mansfield, OH 44902 (UEI: N3S9R2JW2YM1). The justification for sole source procurement is based on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) rights held by TE Connectivity to technical data and specifications, the item's complex design requiring specialized testing, USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board approval for use on the MH-60T, and an Acquisition Method Code of 3 indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. Price reasonableness will be determined through market research, comparison of proposed pricing with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
