REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

OEM is the only known source of the required technical representative services to ensure compliance for work being performed on the project Work Items. The absence of an OEM technical representative on-site could cause significant damage to equipment if installed/programmed incorrectly. The manufacturing drawing and specifications are proprietary to OEM and have not been purchased by the Coast Guard.

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 supplier of the DS60 Doppler Speed Log System is the sole awardee of this system under contract and will only guarantee / warranty this system under the terms of the contract. Maintenance, Installation or calibration of this equipment relieves the manufacturer of any and all liability or damage to the equipment or personnel.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR

OVERCOME ANY 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.
