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

These items are not available from any required or optional source of supply IAW FAR 8.002.

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

FLIR and TRAKKA are the OEMs and they own the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture t_l'e_:e ilems .!9q9 Aviation Engineering has assigned these items an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of-3 and an Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) of Q. IAW Volume 10, Table 71 ofDoD 4100.39 (series), an AMC of3 indicates that the item is required to be purchased from the actual manufacturer, regardless ofwhelher or not the prime contractor is the actual manufacturer.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETIT]ON BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUlRED.

As previously stated, the Government does not own or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications and drawings required to manufacture these items which has prevented the USCG from being able to provide an adequate technical description to potential new sources. Therefore, it is difficult to take steps to overcome the limited and competitive source barrier to foster competition when the manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data are proprietary to the OEM.
