Attachment 4 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000337.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for restricting competition on a commercial products and services acquisition under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The acquisition seeks 11 units of a Data Concent Unit (National Stock Number 5895-01-545-0767, Part Number 5443000-001) for the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line on a sole source basis. These items are required for replacement during routine maintenance of the MH-60T aircraft due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The suggested source is SCI Technology Inc., located at 13000 Memorial Parkway SW, Huntsville, AL (UEI: M5HBU5ZXNN81). The justification for sole source procurement is that the items are specialized components designed and manufactured by SCI Technology Inc. as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Government does not own or possess the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair, and these items have been approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer is required. The contracting officer employed multiple price reasonableness determination methods: market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
