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

USED.

The technical data for these items, required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment that could meet the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. These items are utilized for the OTH IV. These items are critical for the safe operation of the vessel. Failure of these items would cause a major degradation, rendering the vessel “at risk” for possible damage. Any offer of parts shall be “official brand” Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. It is of an imperative nature, that only brand name parts proven and provided by Safe Boat LLC (OEM) are utilized.

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). Conducted market research using internet searches and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. The USCG does not own the technical data, or the drawings required to manufacture these items. Safe Boat has the required drawings and technical data required to produce these parts.

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. This is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. The reproduction of manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of 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. COR will continue to conduct market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
