    The document serves as a justification for the United States Coast Guard's (USCG) intention to engage in a sole-source procurement for specific components required for the MH-60T helicopter. The procurement is authorized under 41 U.S.C. 1901(c) and FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the specialized nature of the items, which can only be supplied by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The items include spacers, straps, and levers, necessary for routine maintenance, which are subject to unique production techniques that adhere to critical operational and reliability standards. Extensive market research was conducted to identify potential suppliers, confirming SAC as the sole source due to their ownership of the necessary technical data and manufacturing rights. The document emphasizes the inadequacy of any alternative suppliers, given the proprietary nature of the relevant specifications and the associated costs of acquiring such data. Furthermore, it remarks on the challenges of fostering competition for future acquisitions due to barriers presented by the lack of accessible technical descriptions. Overall, the justification underscores the necessity for the sole-source approach in meeting the specific operational needs of the USCG helicopters.
