This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for restricting competition under FAR 12.102(a), issued as FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1. The procurement restricts full and open competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard is procuring 26 LED Red Wing Top LT spare parts (NSN 14-562-8749, P/N 704A46-831-033) for use on MH-65 helicopters. The suggested source is Airbus Helicopters, Inc., located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099 (UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3). The justification for restricting competition is based on brand name criteria, as these spare parts are highly specialized components designed and manufactured by non-Government activity, with technical data available only from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Helicopters, France. The procurement document notes that all materials must have clear, documented traceability to the OEM and include a completed Certificate of Conformance, as required by FAR clause 52.246-15. Page 2 indicates that fair and reasonable pricing determination methods are available but no specific method has been selected in the document provided.
