    Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QB0000007.pdf
    This document serves as a justification for a sole source procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for two pilot/co-pilot buckets for the MH-65 helicopters. The estimated cost is $173,575, and it is determined that only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), BAE Systems Land and Armament, can supply these specialized parts. The justification cites that alternative sources lack necessary proprietary data, making them unable to meet the government's requirements without compromising safety. Efforts to solicit multiple offers were limited due to the proprietary nature of the parts, which prevents adequate technical descriptions for competitive bidding. The capability of these buckets is unique, requiring certification of compliance to ensure safe integration with the aircraft systems. Future acquisitions may face similar barriers due to the proprietary rights held by the OEM, which restrict the development of competitive specifications. The document highlights the challenges faced in achieving competition in specialized military procurement and showcases the stringent requirements of the government procurement process.
