History

Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not conducted) are as follows

Market Research was conducted in the following databases: ITIMP (Integrated Technical Item Management & Procurement) System, TDP Tool, CDMD-OA (Configuration Data Managers Database-Open Archives), CITIS (Contractor Integrated Technical Information System), NSEDR (Naval Ships Engineering Drawing Repository), EIS (Engineering Information System), E-LAR's (Engineering Liaison Action System), LAR's, ERP/ORACLE/FMT, and WebFLIS (Federal Logistics Information System). In addition to the above data base market research, a sources sought notice was generated and yielded no response. The Government failed to procure adequate technical data necessary for these complex items which must meet operational and reliability requirements. VACCO Industries, Inc. (99517) possesses the necessary data rights to provide the required level of performance needed to meet fleet requirements. Market research has determined only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This requirement is considered to be highly specialized Level I equipment. Award to another vendor would result in substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements.

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

To promote competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the subject item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval by the appropriate engineering source approval authority per the (WSS) guidelines. Also, future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry. For reasons set forth in Paragraph (5 & 6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item covered by this document. If another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. Also, future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
