    Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QJ0000086.pdf
    The U.S. Coast Guard justifies the use of other than full and open competition to acquire a specific fitting for the MH-60T aircraft through a limited source procurement. This acquisition involves Fraccaro Industries Inc. and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of this component. Due to the complexity and critical operational requirements of the component, the Coast Guard determined that only these manufacturers possess the necessary technical data and specifications, which the Government does not own and is uneconomical to procure. The requirement is driven by routine maintenance needs, addressing failures and damage of existing components. A fair and reasonable price determination will be conducted through various methods, including market research and comparisons to previous purchases. The acquisition method code assigned indicates that direct procurement from the OEMs is mandated. Overall, this document emphasizes the necessity of procuring specialized components to maintain the operational readiness of the Coast Guard's aircraft fleet.
