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.

The procurement covers spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically 18 Hoist Hook Reset units (part number AMTC-R2022-2, NSN 01-HS-0947) with an optional quantity of 20 additional units. The Coast Guard has justified restricting competition to a single source based on the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing that the spare parts are highly specialized components designed and manufactured exclusively by Aerial Machine & Tooling Corporation (OEM), located at 4298 Jeb Stuart Highway, Meadows of Dan, Virginia (UEI: HZLME6BJT2E6). The justification states that procurement from any source other than the OEM or authorized distributors would compromise aircraft safety and traceability. All materials must be delivered with documented traceability to the OEM and include a Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with contract conditions per FAR clause 52.246-15. The contracting officer's price determination methods are not clearly indicated in the available documentation, with all applicable checkboxes appearing unchecked on page two of the justification.
