This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement is for spare parts to be utilized on MH-65 helicopters, specifically 12 units of a fitting (NIIN 01-HS2-2655, P/N 366A25-1350-79). The Coast Guard is justifying a non-competitive acquisition based on the "only one source reasonably available" authority, citing urgency and exclusive licensing agreements. The justification rationale explains that the spare parts are highly specialized components designed and manufactured exclusively by Airbus Helicopters France as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). No other OEM or authorized distributor is available to supply the parts. The suggested source is Airbus Helicopters INC (Cage: 3GGSZ1), located at 2701 Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052. The acquisition requires the purchase order to include materials with clear documentation and traceability to the OEM, along with a Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15. For fair and reasonable price determination, the Contracting Officer will utilize market research and comparison of proposed prices with prices found reasonable on previous purchases.
