Summary

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a), justifying a single-source procurement with Airbus Helicopters, Inc. The procurement covers spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically two items: Plate Bare Slide (NSN 1680-14-397-1406, P/N 366A27-3139-00, quantity 4 with 5 optional) and Stiffener, Aircraft (NSN 1560-14-393-8961, P/N 366A84-0127-00, quantity 2 with 2 optional). The contracting officer has selected the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" justification type, citing urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, and unavailability of equivalent parts from other sources.

The rationale emphasizes that the spare parts are highly specialized components designed and manufactured exclusively by Airbus Helicopters France (F0210), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The justification states that procurement from any other source or authorized distributor would compromise aircraft safety and crew safety. The contract will require all delivered materials to include clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with contract conditions per FAR clause 52.246-15. The suggested source is Airbus Inc. Helicopters (3GSZ1), located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099, with UEI LAD2HL1R71Z3. The document was last updated on 12/17/25.
