Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000095.pdf

This 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), issued under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The procurement covers spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically a hose assembly (metallic) with NSN 4720-11-418-7670 and part number 789-0022. The quantity required is 18 each, with an optional quantity of 18 each. The justification invokes a brand name restriction, identifying Airbus Inc. Helicopters (2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099, UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3) as the sole source. The rationale states that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-Government entity, with technical data unavailable from sources other than the OEM. Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS (F1958) is identified as the OEM for the requested spare parts. The contracting officer will employ market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method. All materials must include clear documentation of traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance per FAR clause 52.246-15.
