Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000330.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard seeks to procure 200 units of Cap Protective Dust covers (part number G8251-8NM98, National Stock Number 5340-01-386-2147) on a sole source basis from Glenair, Inc., located at 1211 Air Way, Glendale, CA 91201-2405 (UEI: YVBHN7GKLQ44). The item is required for the MH-60T helicopter and will be used during routine maintenance to address failures, corrosion, and damage. An option quantity of 100 additional units is included. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the rationale that Glenair, Inc., as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for item manufacture. The Government lacks rights to manufacture this item and has determined that competitive procurement would be uneconomical. The item is the only approved product by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter and has been assigned Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, requiring direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination methods include market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
