Manufacturer: E2V Technologies. See PR#2116406B4200CM026 for list of requested parts. These parts will be used for the VTS/Radar Sensor System (RDSS) at VHS Sites. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE BRAND NAME, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER BRAND NAMES OR SOURCES CAN BE USED. The CG did not purchase the manufacturer's (E2V Technologies LTD. - Magnetron Electron Tube) proprietary data rights. The drawings, specifications, and salient characteristics are proprietary technical data of all parts must be the same in form, fit and function as the already supported assemblies to ensure proper VTS site operation. REASON THAT SUGGESTED BRAND NAME IS THE ONLY BRAND NAME WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES The M5089T/C and MG5230T are standard Magnetrons that have been approved through engineering testing. To deviate from this approved standard configuration would require additional engineering review, testing, and prototyping that will interrupt the current Ao VTS performance. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Brand Name standardization is requested. The Magnetron Electron Tube is part of the CG's Vessel Traffic system (VTS).This is a vital part of the VTS/Radar Sensor System (RDSS). All parts must be the same in form, fit and function as the already supported assemblies to ensure proper operation and performance The current stock level is insufficient to support forecasted field requisition requests. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED None at this time.
