Attachment 4 - Redacted Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826QJ0000138.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form (FAR 12.102(a)) issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 12.

The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line is procuring replacement parts for the MH-60T aircraft on a sole source basis from Honeywell International Inc., located at 23500 W 105th St, Olathe, KS 66061-8425 (UEI: MXACAUQAMCN5). The specific item being acquired is a Color Weather Radar (National Stock Number: 5821-01-522-5712, Part Number: 7009330-911) with a quantity of six units and no option quantity. The justification for restricting competition cites "Only One Source Is Available," supported by the rationale that Honeywell International Inc. (Cage Code 22373) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole owner of all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair. The items are complex, requiring unique production techniques and advanced testing capabilities that only the OEM possesses. These replacement parts are the only ones approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. The contracting officer selected multiple price determination methods including market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list review, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE to establish fair and reasonable pricing.
