JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7L323R0005

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

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, 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.
