Attachment 4 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03825QJ0000306.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source acquisition. The procurement involves 5 searchlight controls (NSN 6220-01-HS2-7070, Part Number 45-0441-4-2) for the MH-60T aircraft, to be repaired during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. Grimes Aerospace Company, Inc. is the sole source vendor, as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive rights to the technical data and specifications required for repair.

The justification indicates that Grimes Aerospace Company, Inc. is the only approved source by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. The acquisition is being conducted as a sole source procurement because the OEM owns all technical rights and the items require complex and sophisticated testing. The anticipated award date is on or about 5/29/2025, with quotations due by 5/27/2025 at 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. The procurement is unrestricted, with a small business size standard of $40 million, and is expected to result in a firm-fixed price purchase order.
