- Description
- J&A SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION, WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. THE CUSTOMER SHALL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER 2. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER C-1303. ESTIMATED AMOUNT (OVER $2,500 BUT NOT EXCEEDING $100,000) 4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE. Repair of RTA-4114 Weather Radar Receiver/Transmitter, P/N: 822-2255-001. The RTA-4114 is used on the HC-130H Aircraft as the primary Weather Radar System. 5. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. Rockwell Collins is the original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the RTA-4114 Weather Radar System. Rockwell Collins has indicated that they are the sole repair facility for the RTA-4114 and that they have not authorized any third party to repair this item. See attached Proprietary Statement. 6. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES Rockwell Collins is the OEM. Rockwell Collins has not sold the manufacturing or technical data to any other vendor. Currently they are the only known source that manufactures and repairs the RTA-4114 Weather Radar Receiver/Transmitter. They own the technical manuals, specifications, and drawings required to repair this component. 7. 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. At the time of the original acquisition, the Coast Guard did not purchase the technical data and drawings necessary to support this product. Rockwell Collins is the OEM for this material and market research did not find any additional sources capable of repairing this component as of April 10, 2013. 8. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. IF THIS IS A FOLLOW-ON ACTION TO A PREVIOUSLY COMPETED ACTION, SO STATE. The USCG does not have the required data, manuals, or drawings to overcome the sole source barrier to competition. The RTA-4114 Weather radar R/T is manufactured solely by Rockwell Collins and Rockwell Collins is the only repair source for this material. A proprietary statement was provided to the government on 31 May 2013 stating that there are the only authorized repair source and that they have not sold the technical data to any third parties. The Coast Guard will maintain open communication with Rockwell Collins and will continue market research to identify possible sources capable of repairing this material. 9A. ITEM MANAGER CERTIFICATION, AND SIGNATURE 9B. TELEPHONE 9C. DATE 10. CONTRACTING OFFICER’S CERTIFICATION This justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. 11A. CONTRACTING OFFICER SIGNATURE 11B. TELEPHONE 11C. DATE
