UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER
SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.
The items to be procured under this acquisition are highly specialized item and have been designed and manufactured by the OEM, HELITUNE, Inc. As the OEM, HELITUNE, Inc. owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for its manufacture. The rights to the technical data necessary to acquire these items from sources other than the OEM are not owned by the Government.
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).
Thorough market research was conducted using both Government and commercial sources. This included querying the following information systems and web sites: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Federal Logistics Information Service (WebFLIS); Department of Defense Electronic Mall (DoD EMall); General Services Administration (GSA) Advantage online purchasing service; Inventory Locator Service e-marketplace (ILSmart); internet search engines; and the OEM’s web site. These items are not available from any required or optional source of supply IAW FAR 8.002. HELITUNE, Inc. does not use an authorized distributor network. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Contract Opportunities section of the web site at www.sam.gov. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.
HELITUNE, Inc. is the OEM and they own the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture this item. HELITUNE, Inc. does not have any authorized distributors.
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 Government does not own or possess any rights to the relevant technical data, specifications, and drawings required to develop an adequate purchase description. In addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to reverse engineer these parts and has no plans to do so. It has been determined that it would be uneconomical for the Government to either purchase the data rights or to develop the technical data necessary to develop an adequate purchase description for the manufacture of these parts.
PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY
BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.
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 foster competition when the manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data are proprietary to the OEM.
