RATIONALE FOR JUSTIFICATION TYPE SELECTED ABOVE TO INCLUDE RELEVANT INFORMATION GAINED

THROUGH YOUR MARKET RESEARCH TO SUPPORT THE JUSTIFICATION TYPE:

The equipment to be purchased under this acquisition is highly specialized and is specifically designed for use with FTI’s Cold Expansion

(Cx™) fastener systems. This process greatly improves the fatigue life of metal structures, particularly around fastener holes, and has been approved by USCG Engineering for use on all H60 helicopters.

As the OEM, FTI owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for the manufacture of this equipment. The rights to the technical data necessary to acquire this equipment from sources 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 equipment must meet critical safety, durability, and reliability requirements, the achievement of which require extensive and/or sophisticated testing. The Government does not own or possess any rights to the relevant technical data, specifications, and drawings required to develop an adequate purchase description. In addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to reverse engineer this equipment and has no plans to do so.

This equipment is not available from any required or optional source of supply IAW FAR 8.002.
