Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QB0000063.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for MH-65 helicopter spare parts. The procurement is specifically for 8 FWD Drive Shafts (Part Number 365A34-6102-01) with a suggested sole source from Airbus Helicopters Inc. in Grand Prairie, TX. The justification is based on the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" authority, with the rationale that these highly specialized spare parts are designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity, and the technical data is available only from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The solicitation (Number 70Z03825QB0000063) is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items, anticipated to result in a firm-fixed price purchase order awarded solely to Airbus Helicopters, Inc. The government requires all parts to have clear traceability to the OEM, with a complete documented paper trail. Only newly manufactured commercial items will be accepted, and vendors must provide a Certificate of Conformance. The solicitation is restricted, with quotes due by 8 April 2025 at 10:00am EDT, to be submitted via email. No substitute or alternate parts will be considered, and no drawings or specifications are available from the agency.
