This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a commercial products procurement under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.

The Coast Guard is procuring spare parts for MH-65 helicopters through a single-source acquisition from Airbus Helicopters Inc. (Cage: 3GSZ1), located at 2701 Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052. The specific item being procured is a fitting (NSN: 1680-01-8152-2655, P/N: 366A25-1350-79) in a quantity of 10 each, with an optional quantity also available. The justification type selected is "Brand Name – Items Peculiar to One Manufacturer," indicating that only Airbus Helicopters can supply this specialized component. The rationale provided emphasizes that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity, with technical data available only from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The procurement requires all delivered materials to have clear, documented traceability to the OEM and compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15, Certificate of Conformance. The contracting officer will employ market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method. The document was last updated on 03/03/2026.
