Extant, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is the only known contractor that has the data, parts, expertise, tools and test equipment necessary to repair above mentioned items from Section B. Although the Government realizes that it has unlimited usage rights to form, fit and function data as well as data related to operation, maintenance, installation, and training; such rights are insufficient for purposes of meeting the Government's needs. The repair data and acceptance test criteria needed to foster competition for repair is not available to the Government and it is not possible to draft adequate specifications for this repair effort. Extant possesses unique equipment and capabilities (such as test equipment, acceptance test software, theory of operation/architecture, assembly/disassembly procedures, material provisioning and selection criteria, fault diagnostics, shop practices, replacement parts, trained personnel, etc.) derived from knowledge and expertise gained during previous production and repair of these items.

In accordance with FAR 5.201, this requirement shall be synopsized and the request for proposal posted in Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. A Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) was posted under the reference number FA8117-19-SS-0019, with a close date of 6 June 2019. The SSS included the NSN, part numbers, and best estimated quantity (BEQ) for this acquisition requesting information, pursuant to FAR 10, in support of market research to identify potential sources for the repair of the NSN listed. The Government received no response to the synopsis.

As a result of the refusal by the sole source contractor to provide or license data as well as the unacceptable delay of developing additional sources, there are no known additional actions which can be taken to remove barriers to competition. However, any Source Approval Request (SAR) packages that may be submitted using OEM specifications will be evaluated.
