This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 12.102(a). It details the rationale for a sole source acquisition of a specific aircraft component.

• Item: MT FOR RPU-430, Part Number 597-2172-101, National Stock Number 1560-01-HS1-9047.
• Quantity: 10 Each (EA) with an Option Quantity of 4 EA.
• Intended Use: Replacement part for the MH-60T aircraft during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, or damage.
• Sole Source Rationale: Rockwell Collins France is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds proprietary rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. Procuring from other sources is deemed uneconomical and could compromise aircraft and aircrew safety due to unique manufacturing techniques and testing requirements. The USCG Aviation Engineering assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating acquisition only from the actual manufacturer.
• Suggested Source: Rockwell Collins France and Rockwell Collins, Inc.
• Price Determination: Market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list, comparison with similar items, comparison to IGCE, and contracting officer's personal knowledge were used.

This document indicates that the U.S. Coast Guard intends to procure a specific part for the MH-60T aircraft on a sole source basis from Rockwell Collins. Bidders interested in this specific component or similar aviation parts may find this information relevant for understanding sole source justifications and potential future opportunities if the sole source restriction changes.
