Attachment 2 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03825QJ0000087.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.106-1(b), requesting sole source procurement of buckles for the MH-60T aircraft. The justification cites "only one source reasonably available" as the authority under 13.106-1(b)(1).

The requirement is for 20 buckles (Part Number 1101750-13, NSN 5340-01-223-4241) with an option for 66 additional units, to be procured from Meggitt Safety Systems in Simi Valley, CA (Cage Code 25693, UEI: QYKAR7MJJXL7). The rationale states Meggitt is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all technical data rights, with the items being complex and requiring specific production techniques to meet critical operational requirements. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items, and IGCE. The components are needed for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion and/or damage.
