This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The procurement is for 12 Chip Detectors (Part Number 1B7858-4) to be utilized on MH-65 helicopters. The justification is based on a "Brand Name" requirement, with Airbus Helicopters identified as the suggested source, located in Grand Prairie, TX.

The rationale emphasizes that these are highly specialized, non-standard spare parts designed specifically by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Airbus Helicopters France is the OEM for these parts, and procurement from other than the OEM or authorized distributor is not feasible. The solicitation requires clear documentation of traceability, a Certificate of Conformance, and compliance with FAA guidelines. The procurement will follow a competitive process with a quote submission deadline of 29 July 2025 at 10:00am EDT, with quotes to be submitted via email to a specified Coast Guard contact.
