UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The Coast Guard does not posses the manufacturing and technical data to procure these parts from another vendor. The CG does not have the ability to certify another vendors after market parts due to the lack of technical data available. Failure of these parts can lead to premature failure and damage which will seriously impact the cutters ability to perform its mission. No known source other than this vendor can provide an exact replacement.

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

The CG does not possess the technical data and manufacturing drawings to solicit the parts from another vendor. The CG does not have the organic capabilities to certify aftermarket parts for this system.

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

The Coast Guard does not posses or own the technical data required to solicit these parts from a source other than the OEM.

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

ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED

The Coast Guard can request the OEM to provide/sell their proprietary manufacturing technical data.

The USCG SFLC LREPL does not have any funding allocated for these types of purchases at this time, and historically OEM's do not sell or provide their proprietary manufacturing data rights.
