Acquire, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer.

A/RMSC H,P,R

The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part/contract repair from other than the current source(s). This code is applicable only to parts under immediate buy/repair requirements and only for as long thereafter as the deficiency is under review for resolution and appropriate recoding. This code is only assigned at the conclusion of limited screening, and it remains assigned until the full screening process resolves physical data questions and results in assignment of a different A/RMSC. 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.

The rights to use the data needed to purchase/repair this part from additional source(s) are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer this part. This code is used in situations where the Government has the data but does not own the rights to the data. 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.

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

GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60) For items 016934320, 016216682, & 016447180 (3,4P) The acquisition of the items listed above will be solicited to GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60) because they are currently the only source capable of satisfying this requirement. The Navy has top-level drawings but does not own the rights to the drawings. Manufacturing supporting test equipment, and associated specifications required to procure these items from other than GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60) have been found to be inadequate. Since the Navy does not own the rights to or possess sufficient information such as any drawings, specifications, or test equipment/procedures, a full and open competitive solicitation cannot be supported. NAVSUP-WSS must procure these items from GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60). For item 016447175 (3R) The acquisition of the items listed above will be solicited to GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60) because they are currently the only source capable of satisfying this requirement for this item. The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data, or to reverse engineer the part. For item 016615662 (4H) This acquisition will be solicited to the GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60)because they’re the only source with the technical data required to manufacture, test and certify this item prior to unit delivery. In the absence of any technical data, it is imperative that the Government deal strictly with GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60) for manufacture of this item. The Government does not physically have in its possession any engineering or technical data to manufacture from other than GENERAL ATOMICS (4V360 & 4XB60) at this time.
