(c) Special rules. The following definitions and special rules shall apply when determining whether a foreign incorporated entity should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation. (1) Certain Stock Disregarded. For the purpose of treating a foreign incorporated entity as an inverted domestic corporation these shall not be taken into account in determining ownership: (i) stock held by members of the expanded affiliated group which includes the foreign incorporated entity; or (ii) stock of such entity which is sold in a public offering related to the acquisition described in subsection (b)(1) of Section 835 of the Homeland Security Act, Public Law 107-296. (2) Plan Deemed In Certain Cases. If a foreign incorporated entity acquires directly or indirectly substantially all of the properties of a domestic corporation or partnership during the 4-year period beginning on the date which is after the date of enactment of this Act and which is 2 years before the ownership requirements of subsection (b)(2) are met, such actions shall be treated as pursuant to a plan.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION SOLICITATION HSCG80-05-Q-313V37 SUBJECT: JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION Pursuant to the requirements of FAR 13.501(a) Sole Source Acquisitions, the following facts and rationale are presented: (1) Identification of the agency and the contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Justification for other than full and open competition.” – U.S. Coast Guard, Maintenance and Logistics Command Atlantic (MLCLANT), Naval Engineering Division, Vessel Procurement and Logistics Branch, Norfolk, VA, hereby presents this Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for review and approval. (2) Nature and/or description of the action being approved. – This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition seeks approval to contract with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine Systems or a certified Sperry Marine Systems distributor. Request approval to proceed with this sole source acquisition, for a firm fixed-price purchase order for Sperry Marine Rascar Radar Model 2500-M-X X-Band Radar and Model 2500M-3145 S-band Radar Parts. Simplified acquisition procedures will be used in accordance with FAR 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. (3) A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency’s needs (including the estimated value). – This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition is to obtain approval for the procurement of Sperry Marine Rascar Radar Model 2500-M-X X-Band Radar and Model 2500M-3145 S-Band Radar Parts. The primary function of the Rascar Radar is to navigational information regarding other ships for the purpose of safe navigation and interception of other vessels. The radar provides this navigational information for the WPC-179 Cyclone Class Patrol Coastal ships. The information provided by this radar system is vital to the ships ability to perform its law enforcement and national defense missions and to safely navigate. This requirement is essential to the mission capability of the U.S. Coast Guard's WPC-179 Cyclone Class Patrol Coastal ships. The estimated dollar value for this procurement is $105,000.00. (4) An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. – Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 as implemented by FAR 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. (5) A demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited. – Rascar Radar Model 2500-M-27X-Band Radar and Model 2500M-3145 S-Band Radar Parts are currently in use on the WPC-179 Cyclone Class Patrol Coastal radar systems. Utilizing Northup Grumman’s Sperry Marine Systems (OEM) for the Sperry Marine Rascar Radar Parts will maintain the design function of the Rascar Radar system and minimize failure due to non-compatible parts. The necessary SOLICITATION HSCG80-05-Q-313V37 SUBJECT: JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION manufacturing data are proprietary and controlled by Northup Grumman Sperry Marine Systems. The data was not procured for the radars currently used on the WPC-179 Cyclone Class Patrol Coastal ships and therefore were not available for release to generate competition (6) A description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether an EPS notice was or will be publicized as required by Subpart 5.2, and if not, which exception under 5.202 applies. – In accordance with FAR 5.201, the intent to contract for Sperry Marine Radar Parts will be advertised on the Electronic Posting System (EPS)/FedBizOpps. (7) A determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. – It is the Contracting Officer’s opinion that prices for this procurement will be fair and reasonable based on limited competition between privately owned businesses, price analysis and similar items used in the commercial marketplace. Additionally, proposed prices will undergo comparison with previously prices paid. (8) A description of the market research conducted (see Part 10) and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted. – There are several sources that manufacture similar radars in the commercial marketplace; however, a similar unit would require unique modifications to the Sperry Marine Rascar Radar System. Sperry Marine Rascar Radar Model 2500-M27X X-Band and 2500M-3145 S-Band are only radars that meets form, fit and function required without modification to the Radar Systems. (9) A listing of the sources, if any, which expressed in writing, an interest in the acquisition. – Only one company, Northrop Grumman, responded to the Sources Sought posted to FedBizOpps. Northup Grumman is the OEM for the Sperry Marine Rascar Radars. A presolicitation notice will be issued on FedBizOpps. All interested companies will be considered. (10) A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required. – The Coast Guard does not possess technical expertise nor did they purchase the data as part of the initial system acquisition for the Sperry Marine Rascar Radar System to foster a competitive procurement effort. Complete specifications and drawings are not available and the cost to procure them is not easily quantifiable. As a result, it would be difficult to foster competition, as the Coast Guard does not have copyrights, proprietary data, adequate technical descriptions of the manufacturing, performance and acceptance data for the radars. The current systems are deteriorating to the SOLICITATION HSCG80-05-Q-313V37 SUBJECT: JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION point that system replacement is being looked at for the future at which time the Coast Guard intends to develop a specification, which will promote competition. In the meantime the Sperry Marine Rascar Radar System must be replaced with remanufactured parts from the original equipment manufacturer, Northrop Gurmman Sperry Marine Systems or authorized distributor. (12) I certify that the data supporting the recommended use of other than full and open competition is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Date: _________________________ ____________________________ MIA D. GRANT Contracting Specialist (13) I certify this requirement meets the Government's minimum need and that the supporting data, which forms a basis for this justification, is complete and accurate.
