    The US Coast Guard (USCG) seeks to procure spare parts for its MH-65 aircraft exclusively from Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (AHI). These parts are critical for aircraft operations and must conform to strict safety and airworthiness standards. Due to the specialized nature of the components and intellectual property constraints, competition is limited. The USCG justifies sole-sourcing from AHI, the authorized OEM distributor, to ensure the supply of certified flight-critical parts. The procurement, valued at $863,746, will be a firm-fixed-price contract using operation and support funds in the 2024 fiscal year.
