Justification for Sole Source
The USCG intends to procure these items from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), as they own all rights to the technical data and specifications. The parts are complex, require unique production techniques, and the government does not possess the technical data, making it uneconomical to acquire from other sources. These parts are approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T and have an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the manufacturer. Market research, including comparison with previous purchases and current price lists, was conducted for price determination.
