A/RMSC R

The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase / contract repair of this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

This acquisition will be solicited to

TRANSISTOR DEVICES INC. TRANSISTOR DEVICES INC is the OEM for the part(s) mentioned above and is the only source that possesses the unique expertise and knowledge required for its continued support and maintenance. The Government does not own the necessary data or data rights required to contract for the repair of this part from additional sources. TRANSISTOR DEVICES INC retains exclusive rights to the technical data, manufacturing/repair processes, and design information (e.g., proprietary drawings, software code, manufacturing/repair specifications) for these parts. A comprehensive analysis has determined that it is uneconomical to purchase the required data and/or data rights from TRANSISTOR DEVICES INC . The cost of acquiring these rights would significantly exceed the cost of the Repair from the approved source. Based on the factors outlined above, it is concluded that TRANSISTOR DEVICES INC is the only responsible source capable of performing the necessary repairs, given the Government's lack of data rights and the uneconomical nature of data acquisition or reverse engineering. An Other Than Full & Open procurement is necessary to maintain operational readiness and avoid unacceptable cost, schedule, and performance risks.
