Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000053.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a), used to support a single-source procurement decision.

The procurement is for four spare ventilation parts for MIL-65 helicopters: right upper ventilation (Part Number 365A58805100), left upper ventilation (365A58805200), right lower ventilation (365A58805300), and left lower ventilation (365A58805400), with one unit of each required. The suggested source is AIRBUS located at 2701 Form Drive Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099 (Cage: 3GSZ1). The justification cites the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" authority under FAR 12.102(a), asserting that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-Government entity for which technical data from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is unavailable. The rationale explains that the procured part is a modification to the existing cowling design, incorporating features specifically engineered to improve airflow and dissipate heat more effectively, thereby reducing engine compartment temperature and enhancing operational performance. Page 2 outlines price reasonableness determination methods available to the contracting officer, including market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, comparison to IGCE, and contracting officer's personal knowledge, though no specific method was checked in this document.
