ATTACHMENT 3 -

- 70Z03824QH0000107

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

Chelton Limited is the OEM for this material. No substitution is authorized per the USCG and Air Force Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) Manuals. No other manufacturing source is acceptable per USCG Engineering requirements per the Acquisition Method Code 3, indicating that this material can only be purchased via the actual manufacture.

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) that are 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 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.
