Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior closely related MH-65 spare parts awards to Airbus Helicopters under solicitation numbers 70Z03822DB2000001 (08/15/22–12/31/26, $62,431,816) and 70Z03822DB2000014 (01/01/22–12/31/26, $11,165,270). Those awards involved procurement and delivery of factory-new, FAA-approved or EASA-certified MH-65 spares with required OEM traceability and airworthiness/conformance documentation. The current requirement similarly calls for procurement of a specific MH-65 standoff assembly with traceability to the OEM (Cobham Exeter) and FAA-compliant certification documentation, consistent with a continuation of MH-65 sustainment spares sourcing.
