Attachment 2 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826QJ0000023.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center and Medium Range Recovery Product Line intends to purchase 8 ASSY,PILOT STEP W B assemblies (National Stock Number 4810-01-HS2-7415, Part Number 6074-A201-115-02) for MH-60T aircraft replacement during routine maintenance. The sole source procurement is from Strata-G Solutions LLC in Huntsville, Alabama, justified by the company being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive technical rights and specialized manufacturing capabilities. The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting this sole source acquisition based on the items being uniquely designed, meeting critical operational requirements, and approved by the Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter.

The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through multiple methods including market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to the independent government cost estimate (IGCE). The justification type selected is "Only One Source Reasonably Available" under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with the rationale emphasizing that Strata-G Solutions owns all technical and manufacturing rights, requires unique production techniques, and has been the sole approved manufacturer for these specific aircraft components.
