Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000209.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The procurement concerns spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically one trough for the aft right (RH) section with NSN 1560-14-417-1618 and part number 366A25-1360-01. The quantity required is eight units with optional additional quantities available. The suggested source is Airbus Helicopters INC, located at Cage (3GSZ1), 2701 N Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052. The justification for restricting competition is based on the determination that only one source is available, as these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-Government entity. Airbus Helicopters France serves as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the requested parts, and procurement from any other authorized distributor or Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (3GSZ1) will compromise aircraft safety and crew integrity. All delivered materials must include clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination methods are not specified in the provided section of the document. The document was last updated on March 3, 2026.
