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

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

These item(s) that are to be procured under this acquisition are highly specialized items(s) which have been designed and manufactured by Sikorsky (Cage Code 78286). As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these item(s), Sikorsky own all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for its manufacture. The rights to the technical data necessary to have these item(s) manufactured by Sikorsky are not owned by the Government and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase these rights. These item(s) are 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 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 Data; DLA FedMall; the General Services Administration’s (GSA) online purchasing service – GSA Advantage®;

Inventory Locator Service e-marketplace (ILSmart); internet search engines; and the OEM’s web site. A notice of intent will be posted to the Sam website at www.sam.gov IAW FAR 5.101(a)(1).

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

Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. is the OEM and they own the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture these item(s). Sikorsky has not licensed the rights to the technical data required to manufacture these item(s), therefore there are no other sources capable of their manufacture. USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned these item(s) an Acquisition Method Code (ACM) of 3. IAW Volume 10. Table 71 of DoD 4100.39 (series), an AMC of 3 indicates that these item(s) are required to be purchased from the actual manufacturer, regardless of whether or not the prime contractor is the actual manufacturer. The USCG is conducting a sole source acquisition.

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.

These item(s) to be manufactured are 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 these item(s) 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 these item(s) 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 these item(s) 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, and acceptance data are proprietary to the OEM.
