Attachment 2 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03825QJ0000353.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole-source acquisition. The solicitation is for 15 hooks (Part Number 64373, National Stock Number 5340-01-519-8363) for the MH-60T aircraft, to be procured from Adams Rite Aerospace, Inc. in Fullerton, CA. The contract allows for an additional 10 optional components, potentially bringing the total quantity to 25 items within 365 days of the initial award.

The procurement is justified as a sole-source acquisition because Adams Rite Aerospace owns all rights to the technical data and is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with unique production techniques. The components are specialized and critical for operational reliability, with the U.S. Coast Guard determining it is uneconomical to purchase from any other source. The solicitation is unrestricted, with a quotation deadline of 6/20/2025 at 2:00 pm EDT and an anticipated award date of 6/24/2025. Offerors must provide certification of conformance and traceability to the manufacturer.
