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

Goodrich owns the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to overhaul this item. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant. The Coast Guard does not own nor can it obtain the technical data to overhaul this component. The USCG is conducting a limited source acquisition. Any offeror that is able to overhaul the limited source item and part number, including the ability to submit documentation showing clear overhaul ability 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 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 manufacture or overhaul this component and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase them. In 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 or overhaul this component 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 overcome the limited source barrier to foster competition when the manufacturing, performance, overhaul, and acceptance data are proprietary to Eaton.
