Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies the use of Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a), specifically for the procurement of spare parts for MH-65 helicopters. The justification is based on the principle that only one source is reasonably available.

• The procurement is for spare parts.

• Specifically, the item is a "CONNECT PLUG, ELECT" with NIIN 01-HS2-0453 and P/N 10-628485-56N.

• Quantity required is 15EA, with an optional quantity of 15EA.

• The document does not specify contract type, period of performance, or estimated value.

• This document is a justification for a sole-source procurement, not a solicitation for proposals.

• The suggested source is Amphenol Corporation-Aerospace.

• This is a sole-source justification, not an eligible set-aside.

• The rationale states that the parts are highly specialized, designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity, and technical data for acquisition by others is unavailable.

• Amphenol Corporation-Aerospace is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

• Procurement from other than the OEM or authorized distributor is stated to compromise aircraft and crew safety.

• The solicitation and purchase order will require documented traceability to the OEM and a Certificate of Conformance.

• Fair and reasonable price determination methods include market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list, comparison with similar items, comparison to IGCE, contracting officer's personal knowledge, or other methods.
