Attachment 4 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000351.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), filed under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.

The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line are conducting a sole source acquisition for overhaul items required for the MH-60T aircraft. The procurement involves four units of a Main Fuel Control component (Part Number 4046T52G37, National Stock Number 2915-01-492-3907, with alternate part numbers 6068T97P12 OR 8930-337) needed for routine maintenance replacement due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The suggested source is Woodward, Inc., located at 5001 N 2ND ST, Loves Park, IL 61111-5408 (UEI: L4UCL5K5H5J9). The justification for sole source selection is that Woodward, Inc., as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these items, owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for overhaul. The items are complex, requiring unique production techniques and extensive testing, and Woodward is the only known source capable of supporting evaluation, testing, and overhaul of these components. The USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board has approved these items exclusively for use on the MH-60T helicopter. Fair and reasonable price determination methods selected include market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchase prices, current price list, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
