Attachment 4 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000350.pdf

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

The Coast Guard seeks to procure eight units of an EGI 764+429+JAIC item (National Stock Number 1680-01-HS1-9691, Part Number HG9869K1-001) from Honeywell International Inc. for repair and replacement on the MH-60T aircraft during routine maintenance. The item addresses failures, corrosion, and damage. Honeywell International Inc., located at 13350 US Highway 19 North, Clearwater, FL 33764-7226 (UEI: LXR8CJQ8J8J7), is identified as the sole source. The justification for restricting competition cites that Honeywell, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair. The item is complex and must meet critical operational and reliability requirements that necessitate unique production techniques and extensive testing. The Government does not possess or have rights to the technical data and specifications, making it uneconomical to purchase them. The contracting officer employed multiple methods to establish fair and reasonable pricing, including market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE (Independent Government Cost Estimate).
