Sole Source Justification
The USCG intends to award this as a sole source to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, citing FAR 12.102(a) and 10 U.S.C. § 3205. SAC is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only ALC MRR Engineering approved source for this proprietary component. SAC owns all necessary data, specifications, drawings, test equipment, and tooling, which would be cost-prohibitive for the Government to obtain. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice, yielded only one technically unacceptable response from other vendors. Failure to procure this component from SAC would severely degrade the USCG's operational capabilities. Future efforts will be made to identify additional sources to promote competition.
Response & Evaluation
This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a quotation for consideration. Award will be made upon determination of fair and reasonable pricing. The Government retains discretion not to compete the proposed procurement based on responses.
