This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document supporting a simplified acquisition under FAR 12.102(a). The procurement is for spare parts to support MH-65 helicopters, specifically one cowling engine (right side) with National Stock Number 1560-01-HS1-6810 and Part Number 365A58-1740-0202. The Coast Guard is requesting a quantity of two units with an optional quantity of five additional units.

The justification cites "Only One Source Reasonably Available" as the authority, with the rationale that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-Government entity with technical data available only from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Airbus Helicopters France (F0210) is identified as the OEM. The suggested source for procurement is Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (3GSZ1), located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099, with UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3. The justification emphasizes that procurement from any source other than the OEM or authorized distributor would compromise aircraft safety and crew safety. The contract will require materials delivered with documented traceability to the OEM and include a completed Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15.
