A/RMSC B

This part must be acquired from/repaired by a source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing/repair knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from/repair by other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

Manufacture of these parts is highly specialized and requires acquisition from source specified on a source controlled drawing. This acquisition will be solicited to Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. (54181).

This item is governed by source controlled technical data. Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. (54181) is the only source listed on Government Source Control Drawing # 7263959. The Government does not possess sufficient rights in the technical data to distribute them to potential new suppliers of the item. Any additional sources would have to be approved by NSWC Indian Head Division and added to the approved sources listed on the drawing. There are no known distributors.

The latest configuration has been checked and all records have been properly aligned, identified, and documented. This item is on Source Controlled Drawing 7263959 owned by the Government listing only Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. (54181) as an approved source. The Government does not possess sufficient rights in the technical data.

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.
