UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES

CAN BE USED.

The item to be procured under this acquisition is a highly specialized part, which has been designed and manufactured by

Honeywell International-Poway (HIP) (Cage Code 1M8L7). As the OEM of this item, HIP owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for its manufacture. 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. This specific searchlight is the only one approved by the

USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board (ACCB) for use on USCG aircraft.

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).

Extensive 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 Information Service

(WebFLIS); Department of Defense (DoD Fed Mall); the General Services Administration's (GSA) online purchasing service - CSA Advantage@; Inventory Locator Service e-marketplace (lLSmart); internet search engines; and the OEM's web site. This itern is not available from any required or optional source of supply IAW FAR 8.002. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) web site at wtvrv.lbo.gov IAW FAR

5.101(a) ( I ). The OEM and authorized distributors will be notified of this posting to FBO.

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

HIP is the OEM and they own 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) Code of H. IAW Volume 10, Table 7l of DoD 4100.39 (series), an AMC of 3 and an Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) Code of Q. IAW Volume 10, Table 7l of DoD 4100.39 (series), an AMC of 3 indicates that the item is required to be purchased from the actual manufacturer, regardless of whether or not the prime contractor is the actual manufacturer. However, the USCG will also accept items from OEM approved sources 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. The USCG is conducting a brand name acquisition. Any offeror that is able to provide the sole 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 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 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 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 this item which has 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 manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data are proprietary to the OEM.
