Attachment 2 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826QJ0000065.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The procurement is for 6 Union items (National Stock Number 4730-01-167-9112, Part Number U20020ADN) to be used for the Aviation Logistics Center's Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line, specifically for MH-60T aircraft maintenance and replacement due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.

The sole source for these specialized items is Eaton Aeroquip LLC. located in Jackson, Michigan. The justification highlights that Eaton Aeroquip owns all technical rights, data, specifications, and drawings for manufacturing these complex items. The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting this brand name acquisition because it is the only source authorized to acquire these specific components from the original equipment manufacturer, and no alternative sources can provide equivalent items without compromising aircraft safety and reliability.
