Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It details the rationale for a sole source acquisition.

• Item: MH-60T Input/Output (I/O) Configuration, Part Number 1/0 CONFIGURATION FOR P/N 5561000-001.
• Intended Use: For the MH-60T aircraft.
• Suggested Source: SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC.
• Rationale: SCI Technology, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. The item requires unique production techniques and testing. The government does not own the rights to this data, and it is uneconomical to purchase. This specific I/O configuration is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter and utilizes custom software developed by SCI Technology. They are the sole source for the software and I/O configuration file.
• Fair and Reasonable Price Determination Methods: Market Research, Comparison of Proposed Price with Prices Found Reasonable on Previous Purchases, Current Price List, Comparison with Similar Items in a Related Industry.

This document indicates that the upcoming procurement for the MH-60T I/O Configuration is being conducted on a sole source basis with SCI Technology, Inc. Vendors who are not SCI Technology, Inc. should note that this opportunity is not open for competitive bidding under the stated justification.
