The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking procurement authority for spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, justifying the purchase through other than full and open competition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The procurement is necessary due to the specialized nature of the parts, which are exclusively manufactured by Airbus Helicopters France, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The acquisition requires traceability to the OEM and adherence to a Certificate of Conformance, ensuring compliance with safety standards. The suggested source for these parts is Airbus Inc. in Grand Prairie, Texas. This procurement emphasizes the necessity for specific components to maintain operational safety for the aircraft and crew.
