This document is a "Redacted Justification and Approval (J&A)" for other than full and open competition, specifically for commercial products and services at or below the SAT, under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1. It details the rationale for a sole source acquisition.

• Authority: Restricting Competition FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.
• Justification Type: Only One Source Is Available (Brand Name).
• Item: Bracket Assy, National Stock Number 1560-01-HS2-4946, Part Number 70500-22107-058.
• Intended Use: For replacement during routine maintenance of the MH-60T aircraft due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.
• Suggested Source: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.
• Rationale: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, as the OEM, owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. The item is complex, requires unique production techniques and testing, and the Government does not own the rights to this data, making it uneconomical to purchase elsewhere. This specific bracket assembly is approved for use on the MH-60T helicopter.
• Fair and Reasonable Price Determination Methods: Market Research, Comparison of Proposed Price with Prices Found Reasonable on Previous Purchases, Current Price List, Comparison with Similar Items in a Related Industry.

This document indicates that the government intends to procure a specific aircraft part (Bracket Assy) on a sole source basis from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. Bidders interested in this opportunity should note that it is not being competed openly due to the unique nature of the part and the manufacturer's proprietary rights to the technical data. This J&A explains why other sources are not being considered.
