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 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 llot ow'n or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture this item and it has been deterrnined that it is uneconomical to purchase them. In addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to manufbcture 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 this item which has prevented the USCG from being able to provide an adequate technical deicription to potential new sources. Therefore, it is difficult to take steps to foster competition wherr the manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data are proprietary to the OEM.
