Hi Terry, I am in the process of soliciting this item as “commercial of a type” for a 5-year IDC for this item.

In order to solicit this correctly, please provide responses for the following:

1. Is the AMC/AMSC correct as 3C?

2. Is this item commercial or commercial of a type?

3. What are the truly essential characteristics of the NSN item?

4. How are these characteristics essential to the end user?

5. Why can no other commercial item meet these essential requirements?

6. When was the last time the technical team researched availability of alternative options (e.g., technical review, breakout screening)?

7. Explain why the government cannot pursue a Brand Name or Equal specification based on salient characteristics that are readily available in the commercial marketplace.

8. How the required NSN item is different from other commercially available items e.g. unique characteristics to ensure the safe dependable, and effective operation of military equipment(reliability/durability), weapon system coded, critical item of supply?

9. Describe any differences between the required NSN item and its commercial equivalent (e.g., same part number but additional Military quality requirements).

Thanks. Michele Beasley 614-692-7572
