This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The solicitation is for repair parts for the MH-65 helicopter, specifically two valves, with an optional quantity request for repair of an additional 18 valves. The procurement is designated as a sole source acquisition targeting Coastal Mechanics (Cage Code 5N111) located in Houston, TX.

The justification highlights that the services involve a highly specialized valve design requiring transfer of engine heat from aircraft engines, with repair requiring technical data from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Coast Guard determined that an OEM-authorized repair facility is not available, necessitating the sole source approach. The solicitation requires clear traceability and compliance with specific engineering change certificates, and anticipates issuing a firm-fixed price purchase order. The procurement is restricted and falls under commercial items acquisition with a small business size standard of $40 million, with potential to increase the repair quantity from two to twenty valves.
