Attachment 4 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03825QJ0000231.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for a sole source procurement. The Aviation Logistics Center and Medium Range Recovery Product Line requires 5 Color Weather Radars for MH-60T aircraft replacement, with a part number of 700930-911. The acquisition is specifically for specialized items manufactured by Honeywell International Inc., located in Phoenix, AZ, with a Cage Code of 58960.

The justification emphasizes that Honeywell is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive rights to the technical data and specifications, making them the only known source capable of supporting evaluation, testing, and repair of these complex items. The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a sole source acquisition based on the critical operational nature of these radar components for the MH-60T helicopter, with the procurement method justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as "only one source reasonably available". The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods including market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, and industry comparisons.
