Attachment 4 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QJ0000437_Redacted.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line requires 3 EDECU parts (Part Number 116007-05C5-17, NSN 2995-01-680-3143) for the MH-60T aircraft, to be sourced solely from Triumph Engine Control Systems, LLC in Hartford, CT. The acquisition is justified as a sole source procurement because Triumph Engine Control Systems, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair, and is the only known source with the ability to support evaluation, testing, and repair of this specific part.

The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through multiple methods, including market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, comparison to IGCE (Independent Government Cost Estimate), and personal knowledge. The document indicates this is a critical replacement part for routine maintenance of aircraft, necessitating a direct procurement from the original manufacturer to ensure technical compatibility and proper functionality.
