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 the item that have prevented the USCG from being able to provide an adequate technical description to potential new sources. Therefore, it is difficult to take steps to foster competition when the OEM owns the manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data, the only USCG approved source.
