- NAICS: 336413 (Aircraft Manufacturing), Size Standard: 1,250 Employees

Rationale for Sole Source
According to the Redacted Justification and Approval (J&A) document, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the OEM and holds all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The item is complex, requiring unique production techniques and extensive testing to meet critical operational and reliability requirements. The Government does not own the necessary technical data, and its acquisition would be uneconomical. This specific item is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter, and the USCG has assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3. Market research was conducted, and pricing will be determined based on fair and reasonable assessment.
Submission Requirements
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a quotation for consideration. Quotations must be sent to Adam.A.Finnell2@uscg.mil and mrr-procurement@uscg.mil with "70Z03826QJ0000108" in the subject line. Award will be made upon determination of fair and reasonable pricing.
Additional Notes
The solicitation number 70Z03826QJ0000108 is for tracking purposes only; no solicitation package will be issued. The Government's decision not to compete this procurement based on responses is at its sole discretion. The notice also clarifies specific SAM.gov representations and certifications that contracting officers will not consider when making award decisions.
