Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03827QJ0000004.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification and Authorization (J&A) document for a sole-source acquisition of a Door MOD Weather RA component for the MH-60T helicopter. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seeks to procure 3 units with 7 options from Helicomb International (6W159), located at 1402 S 69th East Ave, Tulsa, OK 74112, UEI: FAJEBMMN2342. The item, identified by National Stock Number 1560-01-HS1-3807 and part number 27426/5790066-501, is required for replacement during routine maintenance on the MH-60T aircraft due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.

The justification for sole-source procurement is based on "Only One Source Is Available" under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21. Helicomb International, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The item is characterized as complex and requiring critical operational and reliability performance. The Government does not possess rights to the technical data and specifications, and it is uneconomical to purchase from other sources. Additionally, USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned the item an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer. Fair and reasonable price determination methods include market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to IGCE.
