Rationale for Sole Source
The USCG intends to award this to GE Aviation Systems LLC (Cage Code 19623) as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The justification states that GE Aviation Systems LLC owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings for this complex item, which requires unique production techniques. The government does not own the technical data, making it uneconomical to purchase elsewhere. This specific panel is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter. Award will be made upon determination of fair and reasonable pricing, following market research.

The notice also includes information regarding SAM system updates and specific FAR clauses (e.g., 52.212-3, 52.212-5, 52.213-4) that contracting officers will not consider for award decisions or enforcement, and entities are not required to update their SAM registration for these.
