In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows:

In addition, UNICOM is the manufacturer of the product; therefore technical specifications are proprietary and are only available from the manufacturer. The associated technical specifications cannot be made available to other sources since the Government does not own or have legal access to the intellectual property owned by the manufacturer.

The requirement is to provide the following:
