This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a), authorizing a single-source procurement.

The Coast Guard is procuring five bolts (part number 19010, NSN 1620-14-389-4484) with an optional quantity of fifteen additional units for use on MH-65 helicopters. The sole source is Airbus Inc. Helicopters, located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, Texas 75052-7099 (UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3). The justification for single-source procurement cites FAR 12.102(a)—only one source reasonably available—based on the parts being highly specialized components designed and manufactured by a non-Government entity. The technical data required for acquisition from sources other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer is unavailable, and Airbus Helicopters France (F0210) is the OEM. The rationale emphasizes that procurement from any source other than the OEM or authorized distributor Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (3GSZ1) would compromise aircraft safety and crew safety. All materials must be delivered with clear, documented traceability to the OEM and include a completed Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. Page 2 contains a section for fair and reasonable price determination methods, which remains incomplete in this document.
