This is a Justification and Approval document for a U.S. Coast Guard contract (70Z03826QJ0000334) seeking commercial products through a brand name acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) with a FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line require two specific items for the MH-60T aircraft: 30 units of Backshell, Elec Con (NSN 5935-01-HS2-4396, Part Number ISOAS150NF2409-5S) with an option for 50 additional units, and 2 units of Backshell (NSN 5935-01-HS2-6403, Part Number ISO1420NFB-S) with an option for 8 additional units. These items are required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.

The suggested source is ISODYNE INC. (UEI: ELALL5EL6AN3), located at 7706 E OSIE ST, WICHITA, KS 67207. The justification for the brand name restriction is based on ISODYNE INC.'s status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and exclusive holder of technical data and specifications. These items have been approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board (ACCB) for use on the MH60T helicopter and are assigned Acquisition Method Code (AMC) 5, indicating procurement directly from the prime contractor. Fair and reasonable pricing determination methods include market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries and with IGCE.
