    Description

    The US Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center intends to award a sole-source contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer, for a specialized aircraft component known as the Signal Conditioner. This component is critical for the operation of the MH-60T helicopter. Due to Sikorsky's exclusive rights to the technical data required to produce this complex part, the Coast Guard is unable to open the procurement to competition.

    The procurement uses a Simplified Acquisition Procedure due to the unique nature of the component and the lack of alternative sources. The contract is expected to be a firm-fixed price agreement, with delivery requested within 55 days of order receipt. Early delivery is encouraged.

    The logistics center seeks four units of the signal conditioner, specified by NSN part number 6680-01-172-9177, and has indicated a firm deadline for delivery by July 1, 2024. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation will act as an intermediary for the procurement and is available for further clarification, with contact details provided.

    Interested parties should submit quotations to the US Coast Guard by the extended deadline of July 29, 2024, at 2:00 PM EDT. The submission instructions emphasize that all quotes must indicate F.O.B. Destination and include shipping costs, if applicable.

    The Coast Guard will evaluate quotations based on the reasonableness of the pricing and the ability to meet the delivery deadline. Award decisions will be at the discretion of the agency.

    Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A 70Z03824QJ0000305.pdf
    The United States Coast Guard intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as a sole source for a specialized aircraft component, the Signal Conditioner, required for the MH-60T helicopter. This decision is justified by the fact that Sikorsky is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and holds exclusive rights to the technical data needed to produce this complex component. Without the necessary technical information, the government is unable to solicit competition. The Coast Guard has conducted extensive market research but has found no other sources capable of meeting the specific requirements. This sole-source approach is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), and the procurement is streamlined through a Simplified Acquisition Procedure due to the unique nature of the component and the unavailability of alternative sources.
