Attachment 4 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826QJ0000095.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification and Authorization (J&A) document for sole source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) procedures, contract number 70Z03826QJ0000095. The document justifies procurement from a single source based on the unavailability of other suppliers.

The acquisition concerns eight units of EGI 764+429+JAIC components (National Stock Number 1680-01-HS1-9691, Part Number HG9869K1-001) required for routine maintenance and repair of MH-60T aircraft operated by the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MFR) Product Line. The sole source is Honeywell International Inc., located at 21111 N 19th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85027-2708 (UEI: JCCHJ122AVW9). The justification asserts that Honeywell, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, owns all technical rights, specifications, and testing requirements essential for repair, and that the government lacks proprietary access to the technical data and drawings necessary for repair. The document indicates this is a specialized component requiring unique production techniques and sophisticated testing that only the OEM can provide, making sole source acquisition economically justified. The contracting officer selected multiple pricing determination methods, including market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries and IGCE analysis.
