    Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QJ0000022.pdf
    The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center plans to award a sole-source contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corp for specialized components required for the maintenance of the MH-60T aircraft. This decision, supported by the statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), stemmed from extensive market research indicating that Sikorsky is the sole provider capable of meeting the unique specifications due to proprietary rights over technical data and production methods. The items, categorized under National Stock Number (NSN) 1560-01-HS1-8695 (fairing, part number 70205-81106-106), are critical replacements needed for routine maintenance due to failure or damage. The USCG highlighted the challenges in fostering competition, as they do not own the rights to the necessary technical data to create an adequate purchase description, which limits their ability to solicit offers from other sources. A Notice of Intent will be published on the Sam.gov website to inform potential suppliers. The situation underscores the complexities involved in government procurement, particularly when proprietary constraints restrict access to essential materials and specifications.
