Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000058.pdf

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).

The document justifies a single-source procurement of 10 MH-65 helicopter starter/generator spare parts (NIIN 01-HS2-9985, Part Number 524-240) from Safran Power, located at 2250 Whitfield Avenue, Sarasota, Florida 34243. The justification is based on the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" authority, as these highly specialized spare parts are designed and manufactured by a non-Government entity and are no longer procurable from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Thales (DUNS 012113) originally purchased these components from Safran Power (DUNS 31640), who is now the OEM for the requested parts. The parts are obsolete and no longer procurable; therefore, procurement from any other source would compromise aircraft safety and crew safety. The solicitation and resulting purchase order will require all delivered materials to include clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15, Certificate of Conformance. No specific pricing methods were selected in the fair and reasonable price determination section of the document.
