Justification for Sole Source
The USCG's decision to pursue a sole-source acquisition is based on FAR 12.102(a), as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the OEM and the only source for these specific items. Sikorsky owns the technical data, specifications, and drawings for these complex components, which require unique production techniques. These are the only components approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter, and the USCG has assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the manufacturer. Price determination will involve market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and the contracting officer's knowledge.
