This document serves as a justification for a sole-source procurement for two Pilot/Co-Pilot Buckets required for MH-65 helicopters, with an option for additional units. The estimated cost is $173,575. It cites that BAE Systems Land and Armament is the only known source capable of supplying these specialized parts, as they are proprietary and integral to the helicopter's safety and operation. The government lacks the technical data to explore alternative suppliers, and the acquisition process must comply with stringent certification requirements to ensure safety and reliability. The justification includes an overview of the efforts to identify other potential suppliers, noting that alternative parts would require extensive testing for compatibility, which is deemed inefficient given time constraints. The government aims to foster competition for future acquisitions but faces challenges due to the proprietary nature of the required specifications held by the OEM.
