UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY LIMITED SOURCES, wlTH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missiles Command (DODAAC W58H01) is the Primary lnventory Control Agency and has sole authority and responsibility to certify commercial sources for this component. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) (Cage Code 78286) and Kearfott Corporation (Cage Code 05088) are the only Army approved sources. Therefore, the government is limit in their ability to foster competition. The component to be overhauled under this acquisition is a highly specialized part which has been designed and manufactured by Kearfott Corporation (Cage Code 05088) for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) (Cage Code 78286). As the original equipment manufacturers (OENil) of this component, Kearfott and SAC own all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for its manufacturer or overhaul. The rights to the technical data necessary in order to acquire this component from other than the Kearfott, SAC, or an OEM approved overhaul source are not owned by the Governmenl and it has been determined that it is uneconomicalto purchase these rights. This component is the preferred part number approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES

AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

Market research was conducted using both Government and commercial sources. This included querying the following information systems and web sites: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Federal Logistics Data; DLA FedMalli the General Services Administration's (GSA) online purchasing service - GSA Advantage@; lnventory Locator Service e-marketplace; jnternet search engines; and the OEI\4's web site. This component is not available from any required or optional source of supply IAW FAR 8.002.

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

Kearfott and SAC own the rights to the technical data, specillcations, and drawings required to manufacture or overhaul this component The overhaul shall be limited to Army approved sources, Kearfott and SAC. Only offerors that are able to provide the Army certification requirement will be considered for award.

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.

The part to be overhauled 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 or overhaul this component and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase them. ln addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to manufacture or overhaul 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 required to manufacture or overhaul this component which has prevented the USCG from being able to provide an adequate technical description to potential new sources. Therefore, it is difficult to take steps to overcome the limited source barrier to foster competition when the manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data are proprietary to Kearfott and SAC.
