The contract covers spare parts procurement and technical support services for the HH-65 Dolphin helicopter platform, which serves critical Coast Guard missions including search and rescue, law enforcement, and maritime security operations. As the original equipment manufacturer for the MH-65 helicopter fleet, Airbus Helicopters maintains a sole-source position for specialized components and support services.

Performance location is established at Grand Prairie, Texas.

During the contract period, the Coast Guard executed 51 delivery orders totaling approximately $814,000 in documented obligations, with individual orders ranging from $320 to $179,316 and pricing structured as firm fixed-price arrangements. Delivery orders issued between February 2010 and December 2010 procured a comprehensive range of HH-65 components including rotor blades, servo assemblies, structural and mechanical parts, electronic components, seals, bearings, and filters necessary for fleet maintenance and operational readiness. Several orders included quality deficiency review items at zero value, indicating technical support and engineering assessment activities related to parts performance and specification compliance. All delivery orders maintained firm fixed-price terms and were performed at the Grand Prairie, Texas location, with completion dates distributed throughout 2010 and 2011.
