Drawings 728894 and 364454 are proprietary. Email dated 23 Sep10 from from Pratt & Whitney CAGE 77445 states data rights will not be provided. Therefore, no further action will be taken at this time. If Pratt & Whitney sells the rights to the data for drawings 728894 and 364454 to the Government during the life of this contract, the Government will take appropriate action to compete this part.

The contractor possesses the unique capabilities derived from knowledge and expertise gained through previous production of this item. Therefore, Pratt & Whitney is the only known source capable of providing the supplies described in Section 3 without the Government experiencing unacceptable delays and not fulfilling the agency’s requirement.

A Sources Sought Synopsis was also conducted on 27 Mar 2017 with a response date of 03 Apr 2017, during the market research effort to notify United Technologies Corporation, dba Pratt & Whitney Military Engines licensees, vendors, or other sources with access to the necessary data of the pending acquisition. This posting was created on the Federal Business Opportunities website under the PR number FD2030-17-00166. No vendors indicated interest in the acquisition. Based on this market research, United Technologies Corporation, dba Pratt & Whitney Military Engines Division was found to be the only source able to fulfill the requirement.

The Government will continue to monitor the marketplace for potential sources, synopsize requirements for potential sources, and periodically screen the item for changes in data and source availability.
