Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 12.102(a). It details the rationale for procuring specific items from a single source.

• Supplies/Services Required: 15 Accelerometers (FT) with National Stock Number 1560-01-HS3-1090 and Part Number 3077M119.
• Intended Use: Replacement during routine maintenance for MH-60T aircraft due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.
• Sole Source Manufacturer: Dytran Instruments, Inc.
• Justification Rationale: Dytran Instruments, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. The item is complex, requires unique manufacturing techniques and testing, and the government does not own the technical data. This specific item is approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T, and using an unapproved source would compromise aircraft and aircrew safety. The item has an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 5, indicating acquisition only from the prime contractor.
• Price Determination: Market research was conducted.

This document indicates a brand name acquisition for a specific aircraft component. Bidders should note that this is a sole-source justification, suggesting that direct competition for this specific procurement is not anticipated under these circumstances.
