BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

After initial material condition assessment of (6) MK75 Recuperator assemblies, service contractors determined refurbishment of all 6 assemblies is required to maintain sufficient availability for operational readiness of the GWS.

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

Facility has all necessary equipment to conduct repairs and test material meeting requirements outlined in NAVSEA OD51246. Due to limited vendor pool, Ares, Inc. was the only source to bid on initial solicitation for MK75 Recuperator assemblies evaluation. To soicit from additional sources for repairs would cause substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition for shipping and re-evaluation of MK75 Recuperator assemblies. In addition, would significantly add additional time for the completion of repairs.

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).

Initial solicitation for the evaluation of MK75 Recuperator assembly recievieved one source that had the available facilities to perform all required evaluation, repair, and testing necessary to return MK75 Recuperator assembies to operational readiness.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES Material is already with contractor, quotes have been provided for the repair, inspection, testing, and labor necessary to refurbish and return material to operational readiness. The vendor has the time availability to fulfill the required timeframe for repair and return of equipment.

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 expeditious refurbishment of MK75 Recouperator assembies is required to maintain sufficient availability for operational readiness of the GWS. To solicit from additional sources for repairs would cause substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition for shipping and re-evaluation of MK75 Recuperator assemblies. In addition, would significantly add additional time for the completion of repairs.

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