About this file
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition for a federal contract opportunity with the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard. The contractor shall provide on-site services of an authorized technical representative from Appleton Marine to inspect and overhaul a buoy crane onboard the USCGC ELM. The technician must have the proprietary techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation to ensure compliance with the original equipment manufacturer's procedures and standards during disassembly, inspection, repair, modification, calibration and reassembly. A sources sought notice was posted to invite interested vendors to submit information on their capabilities, however, only the OEM manufacturer has the necessary proprietary information to perform the required work, so full and open competition is not feasible. The Coast Guard cannot require any vendor to release proprietary technical data.

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.
