This document outlines the justification for restricting the procurement of sixteen (16) Engine Extinguishers (P/N: 10230-01, NSN: 1680-14-562-8832) for use on MH65 helicopters to a single source. The justification is based on FAR 12.102(a), citing that only one source is reasonably available.

• Procurement of sixteen (16) Engine Extinguishers.

• The extinguishers are intended for use on MH65 helicopters.

• SAFETECH USA, INC, DBA SAFETECH (Cage: 06ZV6)

• Address: 1230 Wilson Road Ct, Humble, TX 77396-1384

• UEI: KN1MVE71ZEL1

• The acquisition is restricted to SAFETECH USA, INC because they are the only known source with the capability to release, capture, re-use, and refill the hazardous agent within the Engine Extinguishers during overhaul/hydrostatic testing.

• SAFETECH is the only current vendor known and authorized by SRR Engineering to perform the required overhaul/hydrostatic testing to OEM specifications.

• The Government lacks adequate data or rights to the data, and it is not economical to acquire it.
