Sole Source Rationale
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the OEM and holds all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings necessary for manufacturing this complex item. The item requires unique production techniques and extensive testing to meet critical operational and reliability standards for the USCG's MH-60T aircraft fleet. The Government does not own the technical data rights, and acquiring them would be uneconomical. This specific item is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter, and it has an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating acquisition directly from the manufacturer.
