THROUGH YOUR MARKET RESEARCH TO SUPPORT THE JUSTIFICATION TYPE:

The original OEM of these Test Sets is Sagem Avionics which is now part of Safran. This test equipment was specifically designed for use on the MH-65 helicopters in partnership with the helicopter’s OEM, Airbus Helicopters, Inc. This is the only test equipment capable of ensuring the continued airworthiness of the MH-65 helicopter and is approved for use by the USCG’s Aircraft Configuration Control

Board (ACCB).

Market research has revealed that Safran is the only authorized repair provider for these test sets. Safran owns all rights to the service manuals, technical data, performance specifications, and drawings required to perform evaluation, calibration, and repair work on these

Test Sets. The proprietary rights to the technical data necessary to have this equipment serviced by other than the OEM are not owned by the Government nor are they licensed to any commercial sources.

These services are not available from any mandatory Government source IAW FAR 8.002 or from any non-mandatory source IAW FAR

8.004. Safran does not have any other authorized repair facilities. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Contract Opportunities section of the web site at www.sam.gov.
