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 PARTS required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. These PARTS are a product manufactured by Evolution Trailer, any and all PARTS offered as a replacement must conform to this brand. These PARTS are critical for the proper operation of the asset. These PARTS are for the trailers. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation.

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, Evolution Trailer is the suggested source that can provide these PARTS, “official OEM”, brand, to support the installed equipment. Evolution Trailer is the possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture these PARTS. Another vendor’s PARTS may not contain the same fit, form and function as the Evolution Trailer brand. The installation of Evolution Trailer brand will ensure the continuity and configuration of these PARTS. Presently, Evolution Trailer’s are installed at Coast Guard units. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from this brand of PARTS, another vendor’s offer may not have the same fit, form or function as the installed brand and could lead to fabrication being necessary for installation.

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 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.
