Eaton Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and only Eaton has the specifications to manufacture these components and hold proprietary rights to the data ensuring product integrity for our aircraft specific application. There were no other sources identified during market research using Fedlog, WEBFlis, DOD E-mall, GSA Advantage, Haystack Gold and lLSmart. Also, additional internet search engine queries did not lead to any known distributors of this material or alternate part numbers associated to be used as a substitute for the intended application.

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1); FAR 6.302.1 only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisff agency requirements. Eaton is the OEM and only known responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements at this time.

7. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMPETED ACTION, SO STATE.

The USCG does not have the required data or drawings to overcome sole source barrier to competition due to proprietary data. lt would not be cost effective to acquire the data to compete and overcome the sole source banier. However, the USCG closely monitors the procurement of this material. Should it become available or cost effective, the USCG would procure the data or drawings to compete for open competition.
