Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000178.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services under FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement concerns DN06 flexible hose spare parts (NSN 01-HS2-7361, P/N 704A34413472) for use on MH-65 helicopters, with a quantity of 17 units required. The contracting officer has justified restricting competition based on the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing that the spare parts are highly specialized components designed and manufactured solely by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Airbus Helicopters, Inc. is identified as the sole source (UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3), located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75082-7099. The rationale emphasizes that technical data required for acquisition is not available from sources other than the OEM, and that procurement from any non-OEM source would compromise aircraft safety and crew safety. All deliverables must include clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contracting officer's price determination methods section is included but unfilled in the document, indicating this justification was last updated on March 3, 2026.
