Attachment 3 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000333.pdf

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

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seeks to procure eight specialized replacement parts for the MH-60T helicopter for routine maintenance addressing failures, corrosion, and damage. The required items include screws, washers, sockets, nuts, bearings, and mounting plates in quantities ranging from 10 to 55 each. All parts have been assigned a National Stock Number and corresponding part numbers. The suggested sole source provider is Trakka USA LLC, located at 4275 Lena Road, Bradenton, Florida 34211-9535 (UEI: N6WHVB55KMR1). The justification for sole source acquisition is based on "Only One Source Is Available" due to the items being original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specialized products designed and manufactured exclusively by Trakka USA LLC. These items are the only ones approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter and have been assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. The Government does not own or possess rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture, and it has been determined uneconomical to purchase them. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination methods include market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
