Attachment 5 - Redacted Justification - 70Z03826QH0000078.xlsx.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a commercial product sole source award under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard seeks to award a sole source contract to Simtech Inc. (66A Floydville Road, East Granby, CT 06026, CAGE: 1KVK9) for the repair of three (3) ECU Control Units with part numbers 697949-13 and 816231-3-008, with an option for two (2) additional units. The material is installed on HC-130J aircraft. The justification for sole source competition is based on "Only One Source Is Available," citing exclusivity and industrial mobilization factors. According to the market research, Simtech Inc. is the only authorized repair center for this material and the sole source that owns the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to repair the ECU Control Unit. No other source meets USCG Engineering requirements for this component. The contracting officer employed market research and comparison of proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases as the fair and reasonable price determination methods to ensure pricing acceptability.
