    Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03824QJ0000380.pdf
    The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to procure specialized replacement items for the MH-60T helicopter through a sole-source acquisition from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The justification for this non-competitive procurement cites the unique characteristics of the required components, which only SAC can provide due to ownership of the necessary technical data and specifications. Despite exhaustive market research through various government and commercial channels, no alternative sources were identified that could fulfill the specific operational and reliability requirements. The USCG emphasized the complexity and proprietary nature of the items, deeming efforts to overcome the sole-source barrier challenging due to the lack of available technical descriptions for competitive solicitation. Overall, this procurement underscores the necessity of acquiring critical aviation components while adhering to established regulations on competition.
