PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

This procurement will complete the requirement for these services for the remaining cutters scheduled for their 225’

MMA. The initial design of the chill water system was found to be inadequate to preform efferent environmental conditions on board the 225 WLB. Changes in design was completed by CG Yard in the cutter’s home port. This change requires control system re-programing to allow for proper operation on the first four cutters in sustainment. No future procurements are anticipated; however, the Government will continue to conduct market research and discuss data rights with the OEM to allow for competition should any future procurements be required
