Authority Cited: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 5. Reason for Authority Cited: Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division, is the original designer of the AN/VRC-103F and AN/VRC-104(V)3 radio system. Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division, as the sole developer and producer of these integration kits, is the only source with detailed knowledge and technical ability to provide the required services and associated engineering. Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division owns the proprietary rights to all detailed drawings and the specifications necessary to replicate the form, fit, and function of the system and perform the required services. Award to any other source requires acquisition of the proprietary data, and would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition; and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. 6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Market research was conducted by the requiring activity. The only known supplier is Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division. No competition is anticipated for this action. 7. Action to Increase Competition: Because of the unavailability of technical data, competition is not possible. 8. Market Research: Market research cannot identify any sources beyond Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division who possess the detailed drawings or the specifications necessary to replicate the form, fit, and function of the integration kits and perform the required services. 9. Interested Sources: A sources sought synopsis was published in accordance with 5.201 on the Fedbid and was also viewable on Federal Business Opportunities Page (FEDBIZOPPS) on March 22, 2012 and this is the updated SS to reflect Harris p/n.
