Attachment 2 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03825QJ0000100.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). The procurement is for 4 Fitting Hoist units (Part Number 70209-22102-102, NSN 1560-01-HS1-3055) for the MH-60T aircraft, with an option for 10 additional units. The components are required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion and/or damage.

The sole source justification is based on Air Industries Machining Corp. (Cage Code 8L513) being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who owns all technical data rights and manufacturing specifications. Located in Bayshore, NY, the company has unique production techniques and testing requirements for these complex components. The USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board has approved this as the only component for use on the MH-60T helicopter, with an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3 indicating direct manufacturer procurement is required. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to IGCE.
