NOV 3026 SURJECr Finding of Sole Source FILE REFERENCES Purchase of HCare Maintenance Package ENCLOSURES LEG 7-2 The police department is requesting a sole source finding for the purchase of extended warranty from Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (AHI) allocating funds in the amount of $55,783.00 from the Police General Operating funds, Account No. 00001.190101.531000. Based upon the attached, please take the necessary steps to verify that Airbus Helicopters, Inc. located at 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, Texas 75052, is the sole provider of these services. The Aviation Unit of the police department is requesting the purchase of parts by the hour support program, which covers the airframe components on the AS350B2 helicopter that Miami Police Department (MPD) has just purchased. According to Airbus Helicopters, Inc., they are the only company that offers Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) assurance of complete airframe coverage for the life of the aircraft (with some exclusions). As components reach their scheduled overhaul time, they are removed from the helicopter, returned to AHI and replaced by an exchange or new component in a very short time. This will streamline the time required to process logistics support requests and optimize operational availability. The program provides coverage for scheduled and unscheduled removals of major airframe components, which will enable MPD to accurately predict the annual cost of operations, based on the hours flown on its helicopter. Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
