Attachment 3 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000345.pdf

This is a Justification and Authorization (J&A) document for a U.S. Coast Guard sole source acquisition of commercial products below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seeks to purchase three floor assembly components for the MH-60T aircraft on a sole source basis. The items required are: Floor Assy Aft (National Stock Number 1560-01-HR2-2518, Part Number HC70204-82016-047, Quantity 1 EA); Floor Assy FWD (National Stock Number 1560-01-HR2-2515, Part Number HC70204-82014-045, Quantity 1 EA); and Floor Assy Center (National Stock Number 1560-01-HR2-2516, Part Number HC70204-82015-045, Quantity 1 EA). These components are required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, or damage. The sole source justification is based on "Only One Source Is Available" under FAR 12.102(a). The suggested source is Helicomb International, Inc., located at 1402 S 69th East Ave, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74112-6610 (UEI: FAJEBMMN2342). The rationale establishes that Helicomb International, Inc., as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The items are complex, requiring unique production techniques and extensive testing, with USCG Aviation Engineering assigning an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer is necessary.
