The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to procure specialized spare parts for MH-65 helicopters. The justification, based on the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" and "Brand Name" reasons, specifies the need for NSN 1560-01-HS1-6811, P/N 365A58-1740-0101 COWLING ENGINE, LEFT. Airbus Helicopters France (F0210) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and the technical data for procurement from other sources is unavailable. Therefore, parts must be procured from Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (3GSZ1), an authorized distributor, to ensure aircraft and crew safety. The acquisition will require clear traceability to the OEM and a Certificate of Conformance per FAR clause 52.246-15. Fair and reasonable price determination methods will include market research and comparison with previous purchases.
