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

SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The item to be procured under this acquisition is a highly specialized part that have been designed and manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) (Cage Code 78286). As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this item, SAC owns all the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for its manufacture. Air Industries Machine Inc. (Cage Code 8L513) is an approved distributer of this item. The rights to the technical data necessary in order to acquire 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. The component is the only one approved by the USCG’s Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the H-60 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 FedMall; the General Services Administration’s (GSA) online purchasing service – GSA Advantage®; Inventory Locator Service e-marketplace; internet search engines; and the OEM’s web site. The items are available from one other known required or optional sources of supply IAW FAR 8.002.

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

SAC owns the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture this item. USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned this item an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3 and an Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) of H. IAW Volume 10, Table 71 of DoD 4100.39 (series), an AMC of 3 indicates that the item is required to be purchased from the OEM, regardless of whether or not the prime contractor is the actual manufacturer. However, the USCG will also accept items from OEM approved distributors as long as they are able to provide the required traceability. An AMSC of H stipulates that the Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part from other than current source(s). The Coast Guard does not own nor can it obtain the technical data to manufacturer this component. The USCG is conducting a limited acquisition. Any offeror that is able to provide the item and part number, including the ability to submit documentation showing clear traceability to the OEM or to demonstrate that they are a distributor officially authorized by the OEM 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 acquisitioned 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 manufacture 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 overcome the limited source barrier to foster competition when the manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data are proprietary to the OEM.
