UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY LIMITED SOURCES, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED-

Air lndustries l\4achine lnc (AlM) and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these parts. They ensure product integrity for our aircraft specific application, and are the only known sources that hold all the proprietary data. During my market research using WEBFLIS, GSA Advantage, and/or open markel sources, there were no other approved sources identitied. All lechnical data available has been thoroughly researched to ascertain the existence of altemate part numbers;

none were discovered. The items specified by this requirement remain the only suitable parts known to ensure safe system operation and functionality of the aircrafi.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES

AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

During the l\,larket Research phase utilizing AMIIIS, FEDLOG, and GSA Advantage there were no additional sources identilled. A Solicitation will be posted on FEDBIZOPPS but acquisition method code (3) indicates acquire directly from the OEM.

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

lvlarket research has not identified any alternative part number or supply sources. AIM and SAC are the OEMS for the item(s) listed, owns the proprietary rights, and the only known supply sources.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEOUATE PURCHASE OESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

Technical data packages, specificalions, and documentation necessary to enable full and open competilion were not procured by the

USCG,

PROVIDE A STATEii|ENT OF ACTIONS, lF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED,

The USCG does not have the required dala or drawings to overcome the limited sourc€ barrier to foster competition. lt would not be cost effective to acquire the data for open competition since AIM and SAC are the only approved sources and own all the proprietary rights.
