Attachment III (Redacted JA).pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole-source procurement of helicopter spare parts. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to procure various spare parts exclusively from Airbus Helicopters, Inc. for the MH-65 Helicopter, including specific components such as blank climatization parts, shackles, straps, and tool sets. The parts list includes 4-12 units of each item, with national stock numbers and part numbers provided.

The justification emphasizes that Airbus Helicopters France (F0210) is the only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these MH-65 helicopter spare parts, and they do not sell directly to the USCG. Market research confirmed Airbus is the sole source, owning proprietary rights to the manuals, technical data, and performance specifications. The procurement will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures, with an anticipated purchase order award date of approximately 7 April 2025, following a quote submission deadline of 3 April 2025 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
