Attachment 3 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825RJ0000006.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), seeking to procure various gearboxes for the MH-60T aircraft from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) as the sole source. The procurement includes Main Gearbox, Input Module Gearbox Assembly, Intermediate Gearbox, Tail Rotor Gearbox, and Accessory Drive Gearbox, with a total estimated contract quantity ranging from 74 to 137 units per component type. The contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type with a Firm-Fixed Price, consisting of five 12-month ordering periods and using Operations and Support (O&S) funds from Fiscal Years 2026-2031.

The justification emphasizes that SAC is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary specifications, drawings, data, test equipment, and tooling required to manufacture these flight-critical components. Market research conducted from September 2024 through June 2025 confirmed that no alternative sources exist, and SAC holds all the technical data necessary to produce these gearboxes. The components are considered critical to the MH-60T aircraft's safety and performance, with potential risks to flight safety if procured from unauthorized sources. The total contract value is redacted, but the procurement is structured to ensure the USCG can obtain these essential aircraft components through individually funded delivery orders over the contract period.
