The document outlines a justification for limited competition in a procurement process for specialized spare parts for the MH-65 helicopter. It specifies that the parts, namely nine linear valves, are only obtainable from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or its approved source due to proprietary data rights that restrict availability. The justification notes that alternate parts would require extensive testing for compatibility, which is not feasible within the given time constraints of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). Efforts to solicit quotes from other sources were hampered by the proprietary nature of the technical data needed for competition. The procurement is based on 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), which allows contracts with a sole source when no other supply can meet the agency's requirements. Future actions to encourage competition face challenges due to the lack of technical descriptions from the OEM. This document serves as an official request for bypassing full and open competition to meet urgent operational needs, emphasizing adherence to safety and quality standards in government procurement.

The document outlines a Request for Quote (RFQ) from the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center for a specific aviation part, namely a linear valve (Part Number: 366A75-3971-20). The RFQ includes details such as the National Stock Number (NSN), the unit of issue (each), and the quantity requested (9). The delivery is requested by November 28, 2025, and the offer is expected to include terms for delivery either F.O.B. Destination or F.O.B. Origin, depending on the bid specifications.

The designated point of contact (POC) for inquiries is provided as Elaina.M.Price@uscg.mil. This RFQ aims to procure a key component necessary for aviation logistics, emphasizing compliance with federal acquisition regulations.
