This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for restricting competition under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1, for the procurement of commercial products at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The procurement concerns highly specialized spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically one tail light component (NSN 14-562-8754, P/N 6490831) with a base quantity of 14 units and optional quantity of 16 units. The justification type selected is "Brand Name," establishing that the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements because the spare part is designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity and the technical data required for acquisition by other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is not available. PC Aviation (F7581) is the identified OEM supplier. The Coast Guard emphasizes that the solicitation and resulting purchase order will require all materials delivered to have clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15, Certificate of Conformance, which will be incorporated into the contract condition. No suggested source name, address, or Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) is provided in the document. The contracting officer has not selected any method for fair and reasonable price determination; all available checkboxes for pricing methods remain unchecked.
