This Justification Review Document is for a single-source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for a Bambi Bucket Replacement for its CH-47F Fleet. The requirement is specifically for SEI Industries LTD Bambi Bucket system OEM parts, which are essential for maintenance and repair.

Market research confirmed that SEI Industries LTD is the sole manufacturer and provider of these parts, with no aftermarket alternatives available.

The previous contract was awarded on August 26, 2025, with a contract number of W924X19P0025, and this new procurement continues the essential equipment maintenance for the National Guard's firefighting capabilities.
