Attachment 3 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000105.pdf

This is a Justification and Authorization (J&A) document for a sole source acquisition by the U.S. Coast Guard under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for contract 70Z03826QJ0000105. The justification is based on FAR 12.102(a), citing the one-source-reasonably-available criterion, specifically that only one source can provide the required items due to their specialized design and manufacture.

The acquisition covers seven specialized components totaling 440 units for the MH-60T helicopter, all designed and manufactured exclusively by Aviation Devices and Electronic Components, L.L.C. (UEI: HYFGDXK754B4) located at 3215 W Loop 820 S, Fort Worth, TX 76116-5941. The items procured are: 150 conductive washers (AD29404-12-04), 20 shielding gaskets (AG358000-22), 50 AV-DEC gaskets (PG872000-01), 40 gaskets (SG354000-04), 30 gaskets (AG233000-40), 75 FLIR panel EM1 gaskets (PG354000-01), and 75 TCAS ANT panel gaskets (PG822000-07). The rationale emphasizes that the Original Equipment Manufacturer owns all technical data and specifications, and the Coast Guard's Aircraft Configuration Control Board has approved only these items for helicopter use, with an Acquisition Method Code of 3 indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer is required. Price reasonableness was determined through market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to IGCE.
