SOLICITATION SPE7L323R0022

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

Product Specialist, Dale O’Hare, certified the following on 04/27/2023

This item is an AMC/AMSC of 3/C. This item supports the following weapon systems: GAU-8 30mm Gun, A-10 Acft Gun System,is a critical application item, requiring GFM but is not a Critical Safety Item (CSI). This item is one of the 7 barrel sets in the gatling gun for this 30 mm Gun. GD-OTS (05606) is the only source capable of making this item. The Government does have the data but the procurement is restricted to GD-OTS 05606. The approved source is the only source approved by the design control activity. There are not currently any 339’s out to the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) and per Product Specialist, commerciality cannot be determined. It is not Commercial off the shelf but OEM indicates there are similar commercial items. Technical Data Certification is attached.

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

The acquisition will be synopsized for 15 days prior to the solicitation opening. At the completion of the synopsis period, the Purchase Request (PR) will be solicited on the internet for 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

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

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 offer exceeds the $2M threshold for obtaining cost data. 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:

Market research consisted of review of past procurements, market surveys received from interested parties, and internet sources.

Procurement history:
