Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000025.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The procurement is for two servo, tail rotor spare parts (NIIN 14-404-8798, P/N 704A44-831-120) for MH-65 helicopters. The sole source supplier is Airbus Helicopters, Inc. in Grand Prairie, TX, with a Unique Entity Identifier of LAD2HL1R71Z3.

The justification explains that these are highly specialized, safety-critical flight components designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity. The U.S. Coast Guard determined that Airbus Helicopters is the only USCG-approved source of supply, as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) SAFRAN Landing System does not distribute or sell directly in the U.S. The procurement requires a Certificate of Conformance and traceability documentation to the OEM, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.246-15.
