    Attachment 2 - Redacted JandA 70Z03825QJ0000038.pdf
    The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), is seeking to award a sole source purchase order for specialized parts essential for the MH-60T helicopter, citing the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under FAR 13.106-1(b). The parts, identified as NSN 1680-01-HS1-9694 (IHC Co-Pilot) and NSN 1560-01-HS1-9692 (IHC Pilot), are uniquely manufactured by Mason Electric Co Inc, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). As the sole entity possessing the necessary technical data and design specifications, Mason Electric is deemed the only viable source for these components. Extensive market research confirmed that no alternative suppliers exist for these items, which are critical due to their specialized nature and rigorous operational standards. The government does not hold the rights to the required technical data, complicating the development of an adequate purchase description for competitive bidding. Efforts to foster competition are hindered by the proprietary nature of the manufacturing information, making future acquisition planning dependent on the OEM. This procurement seeks to maintain operational reliability for USCG aviation assets while adhering to federal competitive solicitation laws.
