5. Reason for Authority Cited: The BCS-K system was produced and manufactured by Cornet Technology, Inc (CTI). The hardware and software for these products was built with Cornet Technology, Inc. capital investment and not on government contract funding. Cornet Technology, Inc. is the sole owner, provider of manufacture, and upgrade for the TVCS-MR system. CTI is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and licensor for the TVCS communication system and associated equipment with part numbers prefixed with “CCHA” and “C” at the 621st ACS.

CTI does work with integrators (such as BAH and SPAWAR), however, CTI is the only OEM that can provide the SW/HW required for the upgrade to CTI products fielded at the 621st ACS. No other OEM is approved to manufacture this equipment.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Due to the nature of proprietary rights, Cornet Technology, Inc. is the only source who can provide required upgrade.

7. Market Research: Based on market research and clarification on Cornet proprietary information, this contract is only eligible for sole source. Cornet Technology, Inc. is the sole developer and manufacturer, and seller of the technology incorporated in the existing BCSK Cornet Technology, Inc. TVCS-MR System and associated equipment. Cornet has not authorized to license any other agencies or vendors access to the proprietary manufacturing, sales, or upgrade thus driving this contract to sole source with Cornet Technology Inc. based on the requirements.
