Attachment 3 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000239.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source acquisition of commercial products under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21.

The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase two specialized items for the MH-60T aircraft on a sole source basis for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The required items are: eight each Azimuth Motor A800 (National Stock Number 1560-01-HS2-4902, Part Number 033012) and five each Zoom Fill Motor A800 (National Stock Number 1680-01-HS2-4904, Part Number 034002). The sole source vendor is TRAKKA USA LLC, located at 4275 Lena Parkway, Unit 103, Bradenton, FL 34211, with UEI N6WHWB55KMR1.

The justification for sole source acquisition is that TRAKKA USA LLC, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these specialized items, owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. These items are complex and must meet critical operational and reliability requirements that require unique production techniques and extensive testing. The Government does not possess manufacturing rights to the technical data and specifications. These items are the only ones approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter, and USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned them an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. Fair and reasonable price determination was established through market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
