This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for procuring spare parts for MH-65 helicopters. The procurement involves 3 storage containers (Part Number 365A96-3160-00) from Airbus Helicopters Inc. in Grand Prairie, TX, using the justification of "Only One Source Reasonably Available" under FAR 13.106-1(b).

The solicitation (Number 70Z03825QB0000218) is a sole-source procurement for newly manufactured commercial items, specifically helicopter storage containers. The U.S. Coast Guard requires these highly specialized parts with direct traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The government believes Airbus Helicopters is the only source capable of providing genuine OEM parts with proper certification and traceability, and no substitute or alternate parts will be considered.
