Attachment 3 - Redacted JA Fuel Tanks - 70Z03826QJ0000003.pdf

This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document is for the procurement of Aircraft Fuel Tanks for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). The USCG intends to purchase 19 left and 19 right fuel tanks for the MH-60T aircraft from NAVSUP WSS approved sources: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC), Meggitt (Rockmart), Inc., and Aviatrix, Inc. The procurement is a firm fixed-price purchase order using Fiscal Year 2026 Procurement, Construction, & Improvement (PC&I) Funds, with the solicitation number 70Z03826QJ000003.

The fuel tanks are critical flight safety items that must meet stringent OEM and Naval Air Systems Command specifications. Due to the critical nature of the components, only NAVSUP WSS approved sources can be used to ensure safety and minimize flight risk. The main fuel tank installation consists of two tanks connected by an interconnect breakaway valve, with each tank providing 2,040 pounds of fuel space, expansion space, and provisions for gravity fueling, defueling, and other in-flight fuel management functions. The previous procurement of these fuel tanks was awarded to Aviatrix, Inc. in July 2024 for $5,269,938, with a performance period ending in October 2025.
