This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for helicopter spare parts. The procurement is for specialized spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically 7 different types of repair bushes, repair rings, and repair shims, totaling 74 parts across 7 line items. The quantities range from 6 to 18 units per line item.

The suggested source is Airbus Inc./Helicopters in Grand Prairie, TX, with the justification that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The procurement is being conducted under the rationale that parts from other than the OEM (Airbus Helicopters France) are not available, and the solicitation will require a completed Certificate of Conformance to ensure safety and traceability of the parts. The contract authority is cited under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for "only one source reasonably available".
