    Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QJ0000035.pdf
    The document outlines the justification for a sole-source acquisition by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center for the purchase of R/H 295 FTG parts specifically for the MH60-T helicopter. The procurement will be made from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3204 (a)(1), as prescribed by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Due to unique design characteristics and proprietary technical data held by Sikorsky, no alternative sources can fulfill the government's requirements. Extensive market research confirmed the lack of available items from other suppliers, and that developing adequate purchase descriptions for open competition is not feasible due to complexities in production and testing. The USCG recognizes ongoing barriers to competition caused by the proprietary nature of the required technical details held by the OEM, making this sole-source acquisition necessary. This procurement process underscores the challenges faced by government entities in fostering competition when technical specifications and manufacturing rights are not publicly accessible.
