Extensive market research are currently conducted using other commercial repair sources. This item is not available from any required or optional source of supply IAW FAR 8.002. Several authorized commercial repair facilities have been indentified and the USCG is working with those facilities to develop a repair scheme in order to gain engineering approval to repair the bond assemblies and to facilitate full and open competition and promote development of more tooling options.

A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) web site at rvrvrv.fbo.gov IAW FAR 5. l0l (a)( I ). The OEM and authorized distributors will be notified of this posting to FBO.

COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

The part to be procured is complex and must meet critical operational and reliability requirements, the achievement of which require unique production techniques and extensive and/or sophisticated testing. The Government does not own or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture this item and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase them. In addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to rnanufacture this part and has no plans to do so.

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

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

As previously stated, the Government does not own or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications and drawings or tooling required to repair this item, which has prevented the USCG from being able to provide an adequate technical description to repair. However, the USCG is continuously taking steps to foster competition to repair the Bond assemblies.
