BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

USCG will continue to conduct market research; however, without proprietary technical information described above, obtaining full and open competition is not realistic. The Coast Guard cannot require any vendor to release proprietary information.
