Summary

This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for other than full and open competition under FAR 12.102(a), authorizing a single-source procurement for commercial products and services. The document justifies restricting competition based on the determination that only one source is available, specifically citing technical data requirements and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) exclusivity related to safety and aircraft integrity concerns.

The procurement covers spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically 94 units of Cable Assembly (NSN 4010-01-HR1-1966, P/N 700-183-2). The suggested source is LOOS & CO INC (UEI: JMPGTRJVJPU6), located at 16B Mashamoquet Road, Pomfret Center, Connecticut 06259-1841. The justification states that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-government activity, with LOOS & CO INC identified as the OEM. Procurement from any source other than the OEM or authorized distributor is stated to compromise aircraft safety and crew safety. All materials must have documented traceability to the OEM and include a Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contracting officer will employ fair and reasonable price determination methods to establish pricing for this single-source acquisition, last updated March 3, 2026.
