    Description

    The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), is seeking to procure specialized cable assemblies, known as Cable, Assembly, Longitude, for use on the MH-60T aircraft.

The contract will involve an initial order of 30 units, with the potential for an additional 40 units within a year, emphasizing the critical nature of these components for operational reliability and maintenance. Interested vendors must submit their quotations by December 9, 2024, with the anticipated award date set for December 11, 2024; inquiries can be directed to Paige Kressley at Paige.E.Kressley@uscg.mil or the MRR Procurement Mailbox at mrr-procurement@uscg.mil.

    ATTACHMENT 1- TERMS AND CONDITIONS- 70Z03825QJ0000067.pdf
    The document outlines the terms and conditions related to a federal procurement solicitation aimed at acquiring specified commercial products and services from Bae Systems Land & Armaments L.P. Due to the sole source nature of the acquisition, offers from other companies will only be considered if they provide a lowest priced, technically acceptable solution. Offerors must fulfill various stipulations including completing FAR representations regarding telecommunications equipment, capability to provide acceptable technical solutions as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, and adhering to strict pricing guidelines. Key evaluation criteria focus on pricing, technical acceptability, and past performance. Terms related to promptly submitting invoices, quality assurance, shipping instructions, and compliance with various federal regulations regarding child labor, trade agreements, and cybersecurity are also discussed. The necessary certifications and representations cover a broad range of compliance measures required from offerors, including anti-corruption, conflict of interest disclosures, and assurances of non-affiliation with prohibited entities. The purpose of this document is to establish a clear framework for the submission process, evaluation, and terms governing the contractual relationship between the federal government and the selected contractor, ensuring compliance with established federal acquisition regulations and promoting transparency and competition.
    ATTACHMENT 2- REDACTED J AND A -70Z03825QJ0000067.pdf
    The US Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking to award a sole source contract for the procurement of specialized cable assemblies used on the MH-60T aircraft due to their unique characteristics. The justification for limiting competition is based on the fact that BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these parts, holding exclusive rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings for manufacture. Extensive market research confirmed no alternative sources can supply the item, which is critical for routine maintenance and operational reliability. The agency cited 41 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for this sole source purchase, emphasizing the absence of an adequate purchase description to solicit broader competition due to the complexity and proprietary nature of the item. The USCG has no ownership of the technical data required for manufacturing, making competitive sourcing impractical. Moving forward, the USCG recognizes the need for enhanced acquisition strategies to minimize barriers to competition but faces constraints given the proprietary nature of the required data. This acquisition underscores the USCG's commitment to maintaining operational readiness while adhering to federal procurement guidelines.
