Redacted Justification and Approval 70Z03826QB0000089.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for the procurement of spare parts for MH-65 helicopters under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21.

The procurement requires 14 units of a Control Panel, Hoist (NSN 01-HS3-1373, Part Number CS-10300-63-2) for use as spare parts on MH-65 helicopters. The suggested source is BREEZE-EASTERN LLC, located at 35 Melanie Lane, Whippany, NJ 07981 (UEI: U1NDNFGSBWD8). The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on the "Only One Source Is Available" criterion, citing exclusive licensing agreements and industrial mobilization requirements. The rationale emphasizes that these are highly specialized, safety-critical components designed and manufactured by BREEZE-EASTERN LLC as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for Airbus Helicopters France. The spare parts are deemed non-interchangeable with other manufacturers' products, and the OEM does not authorize any Maintenance, Repair, or Overhaul (MRO) providers or competitors to work with this material. The Coast Guard engineering has determined that the component is a stiffer component with OEM designation, and procurement from sources other than the approved OEM would compromise aircraft safety. All materials delivered must include clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance. The document was last updated on March 3, 2026.
