Procurement of Enhanced Digital Electronic Control Units Solicitation Number: HSCG38-17-Q-J00166 the proprietary data required to foster a competitive environment as part of any original provisioning for use on the MH-60T aircraft. No other part numbers can be utilized. No acceptable alternate vendors have been identified.

(6) A description of the efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable.

A FedBizOps post will be publicized, as required by FAR 5.2, the intent is to issue a combine synopsis/solicitation through the FBO website, www.fbo.gov, upon approval of this document. However, market research reveals that only Triumph the OEM owns all proprietary rights.

(7) Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the government will be fair and reasonable.

The Contracting Officer anticipates prices ultimately negotiated for this requirement will be fair and reasonable based on a price analysis comparison with historical prices paid, IGCE, and the current market price.

(8) Description of market research.

The EDECUs were manufacture as a joint venture with General Electric and Goodrich Pump and Engine Control Systems, Inc. (which is now known as Triumph) to replace the former Digital Electronic Control Unit (DECU) on the USCG MH-60T aircraft engine. The EDECUs offer enhanced safety and performance over the old DECU.

Market research has been conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10. Based upon the proprietary nature of the manufacturing data, it has been determined that Triumph is the OEM and is the only certified source that can supply the EDECUs used on the MH-60T aircraft, T700 engine.

(9) Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition.

The MH-60T aircraft including its engines were procured and provisioned by USCG Headquarters;

however, this procurement did not include the technical data packages, specifications, and documentation necessary to enable full and open competition, therefore, it would be difficult to take steps to foster competition as the manufacturing performance and acceptance data are proprietary and the USCG does not have adequate technical data to provide to potential offerors.

(10) A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.

Triumph is the only approved NAVSUP WSS approved source.

(11) A statement of actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for required supplies or services.

Every effort will be made to overcome the barriers to competition. If alternate sources are approved, future requirements will be competed among all approved sources.
