Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000064.pdf

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

The procurement is for spare parts to be utilized on MH-65 helicopters. Two servo tail rotor components are required: NIIN 14-404-8798 (P/N SC7282) and NIIN 14-514-5292 (P/N SC7283), with a quantity of one each and zero optional quantities. The suggested source is Prime Industries, Inc., located at 406 Dividend Drive, Peachtree City, GA 30269 (UEI: YN9GDJXM9375). The justification for single-source procurement is that these spare parts are highly specialized, safety-critical components designed and manufactured by Goodrich Actuation Systems SAS (CAGE Code F1688) for the Airbus Helicopters France OEM. The USCG determined that since the aircraft OEM does not distribute or sell directly in the U.S., parts can only be procured from the OEM's authorized U.S. affiliate, Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (CAGE Code 3GSZ1), or as the only USCG-approved source, Prime Industries, Inc. (CAGE Code 11UFD). The document specifies that procurement from any other source is not authorized and will compromise aircraft and crew safety. All materials must be delivered with documented traceability to the OEM and a Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15.
