Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000068.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) under FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement concerns spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically two fittings: part number 366A25-1350-27 (NSN 4030-01-HS2-2783) in a quantity of 20, and part number 366A25-1350-81 (NSN 1680-01-HS2-2657) in a quantity of 18 with an optional quantity of 18 additional units. The justification restricts competition to a single source—Airbus Inc. Helicopters, located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099 (UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3)—based on the "Only One Source Is Available" criterion. The rationale states that these highly specialized spare parts are manufactured by Airbus Helicopters France (F0210) as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and no other manufacturer or authorized distributor can provide equivalent parts without compromising aircraft safety and crew safety. The solicitation requires all delivered materials to have clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The document indicates various price determination methods were considered but none are checked, and the document was last updated on 03/03/2026.
