This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 12.102(a). It details the rationale for a sole source acquisition.

• Authority: FAR 12.102(a) and FAR 5.201(c)(3), FAR 11.204.
• Justification Type: Only one source reasonably available, specifically citing "Brand Name" items peculiar to one manufacturer.
• Supplies/Services: Repair of an item used on the MH-60T aircraft, required for routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.
• Item Details: 3 each of Part Number 116007-05C5-17, National Stock Number 2995-01-680-3143, Nomenclature EDECU.
• Suggested Source: Triumph Engine Control Systems LLC (UEI#: N188YZJK1LL1, Cage Code: 11599).
• Rationale: Triumph Engine Control Systems LLC is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns the exclusive rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair. The government does not own these rights, and it is deemed uneconomical to acquire them. Triumph is identified as the only source capable of supporting the evaluation, testing, and repair.
• Price Determination: Market research, current price list, comparison with similar items, and contracting officer's personal knowledge were used to determine fair and reasonable pricing.

This document indicates that the U.S. Coast Guard intends to conduct a sole source acquisition for the repair of a specific aircraft component. Bidders interested in this opportunity should note that it is currently planned as a sole source procurement from Triumph Engine Control Systems LLC.
