This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for restricting competition on a commercial products procurement under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase an output shaft (National Stock Number 2925-01-HS3-8058, Part Number 63508188-1) on a brand name basis from Honeywell International (UEI: CVT6PBG5LC18), located at 1300 W Warner Rd., Temple, AZ 85284. The procurement specifies a quantity of 3 units with an optional quantity of 10 units. The item is for use on the MH-60T aircraft and is required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on the brand name requirement, as Honeywell International, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The item is complex and must meet critical operational and reliability requirements necessitating unique production techniques and sophisticated testing. The Government determined it uneconomical to purchase the item elsewhere, as it is the only product approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for MH-60T helicopter use. Additionally, USCG Aviation Engineering assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 5, which restricts procurement to the prime contractor. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination methods include market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
