Vessel: Various USCG Platforms 2. PR# 2111441PCA054 3. Description of Supplies or Services: Purchase of two (2) Power Supplies, P/N: 270-2695-030 4. Estimated Value of Procurement: $22,000.00 (for both units) 5. Source Available: Name: Rockwell Collins Inc. Gov Systems 6. Pursuant to FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source if they determine that the circumstances of contract action deem only one source reasonably available: Check the appropriate reason below: X Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency Requirements, i.e. Unique capabilities, Limited Number of sources, Proprietary data or Brand Name Mandatory ___Unusual & Compelling Urgency ___Exclusive Licensing Agreements ___Industrial Mobilization/Standardization 7. Impact Statement (describe the impact on the mission or property) Failure to provide COMMSTA Kodiak with these power supplies would lead to loss of OPERATIONAL capabilities of the Coast Guard while installing a new remote site and the coordinated effort of other Department of Homeland Security Agencies and Local Government Emergency Responders. 8. Explain why an adequate purchase description or other information suitable to solicit by Full and Open Competition has not been developed or are not suitable. The Power Supplies are part of the 00069-URG-III (V) 1KW Transmitter System. The 00069-URG-III (V) 1KW Transmitter System is the primary high frequency communication system installed at the Coast Guard Communication Stations. The Transmitter Systems provide continuous voice and data connectivity with underway cutters nationwide as well as other DHS Agencies and local government first responders. The power supplies are a vital part of the system. All parts must be physically the same in form, fit and function as the already supported assemblies to ensure proper operation. The current stock level is insufficient to support forecasted field requisition requests. A market research was performed to identify all sources capable of repairing these items. The only source found to be capable is Rockwell Collins Inc. Rockwell Collins Inc. is the original equipment manufacture(OEM) for these items and maintains the proprietary rights to all drawings, schematics, designs and custom parts for this assembly. 9. Provide a Statement of Actions, if any, the government may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before future acquisitions are required. The government would need to acquire the rights to proprietary chassis components in order to solicit additional competition to reverse engineer or repair to specifications this equipment and its associated components.
