DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (November 2021)

This item is a 3/D. DLA does not possess adequate data, lacks rights to data, and/or has no record of an alternate Design Control Activity approved source. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. There is no outstanding DLA Form 339 request for additional sources.

6. Efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable are:

[ x ] The acquisition will be synopsized for 15 days prior to solicitations opening on DIBBS

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

a. A price analysis will be conducted using historical pricing, the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. Cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4 will be requested if the offeror’s proposal exceeds the $2M threshold for obtaining cost data, however, it is anticipated that this procurement will not exceed that threshold. Offerors may be requested to submit information other than cost or pricing data for determining price reasonableness. Based on the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates that the cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

This PO history shows no past awards.

Sources sought was posted on 8/13/2024 for 5 business days. Two responses were received BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7) and LEAN LOGISTICS CONSULTANTS LLC (9AN44).

LEAN LOGISTICS CONSULTANTS LLC (9AN44) asked about the scope of work (manufacturing or procurement) and was informed it is a procurement opportunity not a manufacturing one.
