The FAA previously purchased from Universal cockpit voice recorders that Universal holds proprietary rights to the data, drawings, and specifications necessary to issue this as a competitive acquisition. Universal Avionics, as the manufacturing source of the avionics equipment owns the right in data to the proprietary engineering, equipment, and software that is being updated, the annual subscription for the database and the out-of-cycle database processing to be procured under this requirement. The requirement is being processed using single source limitations as provided for under the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) Sections 3.2.2.4. Due to the proprietary nature of the equipment involved, there is no alternative source. The final determination by the Government not to open this requirement to competition, based on any information provided in response to this announcement, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
