This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for Two (2) Towing Kits to be used on MH65 helicopters. The procurement is specifically restricted to Airbus Helicopters Inc. as the sole source, with the justification being that these brand-specific parts can only be acquired directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) - specifically SAFRAN Landings Systems via Airbus Helicopters Inc.

The document identifies the procurement details as NSN 1620-14-397-0839, with two specific OEM cage codes (F0189 and F0210). The suggested source is Airbus Helicopters Inc. located in Grand Prairie, TX, with the requirement that the vendor must be FAA AC 0056 certified. The U.S. Coast Guard determined that no other source can supply these specific Towing Kits for the MH65 Nose Landing Gear, and the government does not have adequate data or rights to procure the parts through alternative means.
