This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It details the rationale for a sole source acquisition.

• Supplies/Services: Purchase of "Mount, HIDS" for the MH-60T aircraft, required for fleet expansion.
• Quantity: 8 Each (EA), with an option for 8 EA.
• National Stock Number: 1680-01-HS2-0809
• Part Number: 026146A-00
• Suggested Source: Elbitamerica, Inc.
• Rationale: Elbitamerica, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The item is complex and requires unique production techniques and testing. The Government does not own these rights, and it is uneconomical to purchase elsewhere. This component is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter. The acquisition is being conducted on a sole source basis per Acquisition Method Code (AMC) 3.

This document indicates that the upcoming procurement for the "Mount, HIDS" component for the MH-60T aircraft will be conducted on a sole source basis with Elbitamerica, Inc. Potential bidders interested in this specific component or related services should note the justification for sole source acquisition and the OEM's proprietary rights.
