Attachment 2- Redacted Justification and Approval for other than full and open competition- 70Z03825QJ0000198.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for a simplified acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b). The document justifies a sole-source procurement of 4 Radio Frequency Tuners (P/N 153-040047-01, NSN 5821-01-474-2547) from Chelton Avionics INC. located in Prescott, AZ for use on the MH-60T helicopter.

The justification cites "only one source reasonably available" as the authority, explaining that Chelton Avionics is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive rights to the technical data and specifications. The item is described as a highly specialized component requiring complex manufacturing and testing procedures. The Coast Guard's Aircraft Configuration Control Board has approved this as the only authorized part for the MH-60T helicopter. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through multiple methods including market research, comparison to previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items, and IGCE.
