This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for restricting competition under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for commercial products and services.

The procurement involves spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically 10 units of a 9 Frame D-Ring Kit (NSN 01-HS3-5396, P/N 366A08-3630-AA), with an optional quantity also available. The Coast Guard has justified the single-source award to Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7099; UEI: LAD2HL1R71Z3) based on the justification type "Only One Source Is Available," citing exclusivity due to specialized design and manufacturing. The rationale states that the spare parts are highly specialized components designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity, with technical data required for acquisition available only from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Airbus Helicopters France (FU210) is identified as the OEM for the requested parts. The justification emphasizes that procurement from sources other than the OEM or authorized distributors (Airbus Helicopters, Inc./SGSZ1) would compromise aircraft safety and crew safety, requiring all materials to have clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance per FAR clause 52.246-15.
