    Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A.pdf
    The U.S. Coast Guard's justification for using other than full and open competition outlines a sole-source procurement for parts critical to the MH-60T aircraft. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) intends to purchase specific items directly from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), due to their unique specifications and the essential nature of these components for routine maintenance. The documentation emphasizes that Sikorsky holds exclusive rights to the technical data necessary for manufacturing these parts, which cannot be feasibly obtained or created by other suppliers. Included in this requirement are ten units each of three specific part numbers essential for aircraft operational reliability. Market research confirms that no alternative suppliers can meet the Coast Guard's strict requirements or modify existing products to do so. Additionally, a sole-source acquisition follows the guidelines set forth with an Acquisition Method Code assigning the purchase directly from the manufacturer. The process for determining a fair price involves various methodologies, including market comparisons and existing price references. This justification highlights the necessity of streamlined procurement to maintain fleet readiness and adherence to operational standards.
