About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime. The solicitation (SPE7L125R0027) is for 15 exhaust snorkels for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV), with IVECO DEFENCE VEHICLES S.P.A. identified as the sole source manufacturer. The procurement is a first-time buy originally solicited under simplified acquisition procedures, but now being resolicited under FAR Part 15 due to quotes exceeding $250,000.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, indicating the item is available from only a limited number of sources. Market research was conducted, including a source sought posted on 12/12/2024 and market surveys with multiple vendors. However, technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and the data presently reflects only the minimum government needs. The procurement is non-commercial, and the estimated contract value is redacted. The contracting officer determined the cost will be fair and reasonable through price analysis techniques, and the document is approved for procurement under $750,000.

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

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.
