This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition, specifically related to FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. It outlines the rationale for procuring items on a sole source basis.

• Supplies/Services: The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase antennas for the MH-60T aircraft. These are for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, or damage.
• Quantity: 5 units
• Description: ANTENNA
• National Stock Number: 5985-01-475-4764
• Part Number: 121-040130-01
• Suggested Source: Chelton Avionics Inc.
• Rationale: Chelton Avionics Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The items are complex, require unique production techniques and testing, and the government does not own the rights to the technical data. These antennas are the only ones approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. The acquisition method code (AMC) of 3 indicates acquisition directly from the manufacturer.

This document indicates that the USCG is conducting a sole source acquisition for specific antenna parts for the MH-60T helicopter from Chelton Avionics Inc. Bidders interested in this opportunity should note that it is not being competed under full and open competition due to proprietary technical data and specific government approval requirements.
