Attachment 3 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000195.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard seeks to procure a single MH-60T Input/Output (I/O) configuration item on a sole source basis under Purchase Request 2026134-JE02. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase this specialized equipment for use on the MH-60T aircraft from SCI Technology, Inc., located at 13000 S. Memorial Parkway, Huntsville, Alabama 35803 (UEI: M5HBU5ZXNN81). The justification is based on the "Only One Source Is Available" exception under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21, Revision 1 for FAR Part 12.

The rationale supporting sole source justification establishes that SCI Technology, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole owner of all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for the item. The custom I/O configuration file was developed exclusively by SCI Technology using proprietary software and represents critical operational hardware for the DCU (Data Control Unit) on the MH-60T helicopter. The Government does not possess rights to the technical data or specifications, and the item's complexity and specialized nature make it uneconomical to purchase technical documentation separately. SCI Technology is identified as the only approved source by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board and remains the sole provider of the software and I/O configuration file. Price reasonableness will be determined through market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
