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

SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The Naval Supply Weapons Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) is the Primary lnventory Control Agency and has sole authority and responsibility to certify commercial sources for overhaul of this component. Sikorsky Aircraft (SAC) (Cage Code 78286) and Vacco (Cage Code 1PVCS) are the only NAVSUP WSS approved overhaul sources. Therefore, the government is limited in their ability to foster competition. The components to be overhauled under this acquisition are a highly specialized part that has been designed and manufactured by Vacco. Vacco, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this component, owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for its overhaul while SAC controls the design, characteristics, and production of the item by means of it engineering drawings, specification and inspection requirements. The rights to the technical data necessary in order to overhaul this item from other than the OEM or an OEM approved source are not owned by the Government and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase these rights. This component is the only one 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 PRACTTCABLE (TNCLUDE 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 FedMall; the General Services Administration's (GSA) online purchasing service - GSA Advantage@, lnventory Locator Service e-marketplace; internet search engines; and the OEM's web site. The item 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.

SAC controls the design, characteristics, and production of the item by means of it engineering drawings, specification and inspection requirements of the H60 aircraft while Vacco own the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to overhaul this item. The USCG is conducting a limited overhaul source service. Any offeror that is able to provide the limited source item and part number including the ability to submit documentation showing clear traceability to the OEM or to demonstrate that they are a distributor or overhaul facility officially authorized by the OEM may 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 overhaul this item and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase them. ln addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to 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 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.
