U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a justification for restricting competition on a federal procurement, prepared under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The U.S. Coast Guard is procuring two spare parts for MH-65 helicopters: Strip, Cover RH (Part Number 365A25-3001-3101, NSN 1560-14-369-1473, Quantity 18) and Strip, Cover RH (Part Number 365A25-3001-2501, NSN 1560-14-369-1467, Quantity 18). No optional quantities are requested.

The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the basis for restricting competition, identifying Airbus Inc. Helicopters (UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3) located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099, as the sole source. The rationale states that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity, with technical data available only from Airbus Helicopters France (F0210), the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The document mandates that all materials delivered possess clear, documented traceability to the OEM and include a completed Certificate of Conformance per FAR clause 52.246-15. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination will be based on comparison with similar items in a related industry. Last Updated: 03/03/2026.
