Justification & Response
The sole source justification is based on Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owning all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. The item is complex, requires unique production techniques, and the government does not own the technical data rights, making it uneconomical to procure elsewhere. This bracket is the only one approved by the USCG for the MH-60T.
