REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

Only this brand name FLIR software service support can support the existing Network Video System (INVS). Only one brand name is reasonably available. The Coast Guard has determined, in accordance with the agency’s standardization program, that only brand name FLIR software can meet the Government’s requirement.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL

AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

An adequate purchase description or information suitable to solicit full and open competition is not available as the software used is proprietary and only FLIR brand name products will meet the Government’s requirements.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Currently, only brand name FLIR software can meet the Government’s requirement. There are no actions the Government can take to overcome these barriers to competition. The availability of multiple resellers to provide this brand name requirement ensures competition. However, the Government will continue to monitor the commercial marketplace for other products that could meet the Governments future requirements.
