The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically the United States Coast Guard (USCG), is seeking to procure spare parts for its MH-65 aircraft through a sole-source contract with Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (AHI). This decision is justified by the unique qualifications of AHI as the only authorized distributor in North America for the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Helicopters, France (AHF). These parts are crucial for the USCG's missions and must adhere to strict safety and compatibility standards. The procurement will be a Firm Fixed-Price purchase order valued at $898,340, with funding provided annually for Fiscal Year 2024. The parts include a ring gear, a bevel gear, and another gear, all of which are essential for the aircraft's functionality. The USCG has conducted market research and posted the procurement forecast on the DHS-Acquisition Planning Forecast System, but due to the specialized nature of the OEM parts and the safety risks associated with non-OEM alternatives, AHI remains the sole viable source. This procurement decision ensures the availability of compatible and safe spare parts for the USCG's MH-65 aircraft while maintaining the structural integrity of the aircraft and protecting government property.
