March 8, 2023 Version

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

Rockwell Collins branded hardware must be used because the item is proprietary in nature and provides integration capability of voice and radio traffic to various Coast Guard Data and Radio systems to include Vessel

Traffic System, Air Rescue and Emergency response. This is vital in order to monitor traffic and provide

Command and Control from one location in the servicing area of operation. Due to specific functions and capabilities the 270-2615-030 Rockwell Collins Interface Control provides as part the one of the US Coast Guard primary missions of protecting the waterways. The Interface Control offers defined specifications that uniquely meet the needs of R21 System. Rockwell Collins currently is the only provider that offers this particularly integrated communications platform that meets the unique mission set for R21 as an integrated communications device.

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.

An adequate purchase description that would allow for full and open competition is not available as no other brand of hardware will interface and/or work properly in the R21 System. Rockwell Collins is the only brand capable of meeting the Governments requirement.

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

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Currently, Rockwell Collins hardware is proprietary and is utilized withing USCG infrastructure. The availability of multiple vendors that can provide Rockwell Collins brand name hardware ensures competition. The USCG will continue to monitor the marketplace and evaluate requirements on future contracting actions.

SOLICITATION CLAUSE:

3052.209-72 Organizational Conflict of Interest.

As prescribed in (HSAR) 48 CFR 3009.507-1, insert the following clause:

ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (JUN 2006)

(a) Determination. The Government has determined that this effort may result in an actual or potential conflict of interest, or may provide one or more offerors with the potential to attain an unfair competitive advantage. The nature of the conflict of interest and the limitation on future contracting is the limited availability of services rendering searchable vessel information through only a handful of vendors able to compete in this market.

(b) If any such conflict of interest is found to exist, the Contracting Officer may

(1) disqualify the offeror, or

(2) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to contract with the offeror and include the appropriate provisions to avoid, neutralize, mitigate, or waive such conflict in the contract awarded. After discussion with the offeror, the Contracting Officer may determine that the actual conflict cannot be avoided, neutralized, mitigated or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of the Government, and the offeror may be found ineligible for award.

(c) Disclosure: The offeror hereby represents, to the best of its knowledge that:

___ (1) It is not aware of any facts which create any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest relating to the award of this contract, or

___ (2) It has included information in its proposal, providing all current information bearing on the existence of any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest, and has included a mitigation plan in accordance with paragraph (d) of this clause.

(d) Mitigation. If an offeror with a potential or actual conflict of interest or unfair competitive advantage believes the conflict can be avoided, neutralized, or mitigated, the offeror shall submit a mitigation plan to the Government for review.

Award of a contract where an actual or potential conflict of interest exists shall not occur before Government approval of the mitigation plan. If a mitigation plan is approved, the restrictions of this clause do not apply to the extent defined in the mitigation plan.

(e) Other Relevant Information: In addition to the mitigation plan, the Contracting Officer may require further relevant information from the offeror. The Contracting Officer will use all information submitted by the offeror, and any other relevant information known to DHS, to determine whether an award to the offeror may take place, and whether the mitigation plan adequately neutralizes or mitigates the conflict.

(f) Corporation Change. The successful offeror shall inform the Contracting Officer within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of any corporate mergers, acquisitions, and/or divestures that may affect this clause.

https://wdolhome.sam.gov/ https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/posters/sca.html

(g) Flow-down. The contractor shall insert the substance of this clause in each first tier subcontract that exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold.

Military Packaging Military Packaging. A means of specifying the military preservation and packing that a given item requires to ensure that it is not degraded during shipment and storage.

Military Preservation. Application of materials and/or methods designed to protect an item during shipment, handling, indeterminate storage and distribution to consignees worldwide.

Military Packing. Application of any exterior protective methods, materials, or devices to assure the integrity of the preserved item as follows: (next slide)

Military Packing Military Packing. Application of any exterior protective methods, materials, or devices to assure the integrity of the preserved item as follows:

LEVEL B

Protection required to meet moderate worldwide shipment, handling and storage conditions..

A Level B pack must, in tandem with the applied preservation, to be capable of protecting material not directly exposed to extremes off climate, terrain, and operational and transportation environments.

Examples of containers used for Level B packing requirements include, but are not limited to, domestic wood crates, weather-resistant fiberboard containers, fast pack containers, weather-resistant fiber drums, and weather-resistant paper and multi-wall shipping sacks.

LEVEL A

Protection required to meet the most severe worldwide shipment, handling and storage conditions.

A Level A pack must, in tandem with the applied method of preservation, be capable of protecting material from the effects of direct exposure to extremes of climate, terrain, and operational and transportation environments.

Examples of containers used for Level A packing requirements include, but are not limited to, overseas type wood boxes, and plastic and metal reusable containers.

Minimal packing requirements. When anticipated logistics paths indicate that items requiring military preservation, as outlined in this standard, will not be exposed to shipping environments more severe than those normally encountered in the commercial distribution system, military packing requirements need not be implemented. Acceptable minimal packing requirements for shipments of this nature are listed in table J-IXb.

FIVE BASIC METHODS

OF MILITARY PRESERVATION

Method 10 - Physical protection Method 20 - Preservative coating only Method 30 - Waterproof protection Method 40 - Watervaporproof protection Method 50 - Watervaporproof protection with desiccant

• Protection from physical damage and mechanical malfunction is required for all methods of preservation

• When methods require chipboard or fiberboard containers within the bag, the corners and edges of the containers shall be blunted

• When a transparent unit pack is specified, the preliminary wrapping shall also be transparent

• Preliminary wrapping materials in contact with any item coated with a preservative shall be greaseproof

• When flexible bags are used, the volume of trapped air within the bag shall be kept to a minimum by compressing the bag around the contents, or by carefully drawing a vacuum inside the bag

• When specific methods require using a bag or container, preliminary wrapping, cushioning or other dunnage material shall be applied as necessary to protect the item, the bag, and the container from all projections or sharp edges of the item as well as to restrict movement of the item within the unit pack.

Method 50 requires desiccant, humidity indicator and Method 50 Label(s)

Method 10 Physical Protection

Unpreserved items shall be provided protection from physical damage and mechanical malfunction. Cushioning materials, dunnage, blocking and bracing shall be applied as required to protect the items and the enclosing media and restrict the movement of the item within the container.

Types of items to be preserved Method 10:

Plastic, Ceramics, Glass, Painted Metal, Finished Wood Products.

Method 20 Physical Protection with Preservative

(with greaseproof wrap, as required)

• Preservative shall be applied directly after cleaning and drying

• Contact preservative coated items shall be wrapped in material conforming to MIL-PRF-121 or QQ-A-1876

Method 31 Waterproof Bag, Heat Sealed

When specified in the contract or order, a carton or box shall be required to effect the unit container and the primary cushioning specified in the contract or order shall be placed between the outside of the bag and the inside of the carton or box

Method 32 Container, Waterproof Bag, Heat Sealed

Method 33 Greaseproof – Waterproof bag, heat sealed

Method 41 Watervaporproof bag, heat sealed

For electrostatic protection refer to 5.2.4.1.

5.2.4.1 - ESDS items shall be preservedin accordance with table J-Ia, Code "GX"

Method 42 Container, Watervaporproof bag, heat sealed, Container

Method 43 Floating Watervaporproof Bag, Heat Sealed

When the outer container becomes the shipping container, it shall be marked as a shipping container in accordance with MIL-STD-129; the bag shall be marked as a unit pack in accordance with MIL-STD-129

Method 44 Rigid Container (other than metal)

Method 45 Rigid Metal Container, Sealed

Method 51 Watervaporproof Bag with Desiccant, Heat Sealed

• The bag size shall be of sufficient surface area to permit two subsequent resealings.

• The humidity indicator shall be firmly secured directly behind the inspection window or immediately within the closure seal of the container.

Method 52 Container, Watervaporproof Bag w/Desiccant, Heat

Sealed, Container

Under no circumstances shall desiccant be permitted to come in direct contact with critical surfaces of the enclosed item.
