This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) for solicitation number 70Z03826QJ0000325. The purpose of this J&A is to authorize a sole-source acquisition for the overhaul and repair of key structural components of the HH-65 helicopter, specifically the Starflex star assembly and the main rotor shaft. The USCG has designated Airbus Helicopters as the sole approved source capable of performing these highly specialized services. As the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Helicopters possesses the proprietary technical data, specialized tooling, and engineering expertise required to meet strict airworthiness and safety standards. No other sources are currently authorized or possess the necessary technical specifications to perform these overhauls. This procurement is critical to maintaining the operational readiness and safety of the USCG’s HH-65 search and rescue fleet. The document outlines that procuring these services from any other source would result in unacceptable delays and compromise mission capability. To ensure future competitive opportunities, the USCG will continue to monitor the market for other qualified vendors that may develop the required capabilities and receive OEM certification.
