SOLICITATION SPE7M5-21-R-0049

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

(FEB 2017)

A Technical Referral was sent to the Product Specialist to validate the AMC / AMSC on 8/27/2021. On 9/01/2021, the Product Specialist stated that the AMC / AMSC of 4/C was still correct.

Based on the aforementioned, the Product Specialist has certified that the technical information, including the AMC / AMSC of 4/C and that the only approved source is ABB Enterprise Software Inc. (0D3T2), is complete and accurate.

ABB Enterprise Software Inc. (0D3T2) is the only source approved by the design control activity because ABB Enterprise Software Inc. retains the data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that is not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part.

6. Efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable are:

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about October 8, 2021 for 16 days. At the completion of the synopsis period, this PR will be solicited on the internet for a minimum of 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System

(DIBBS).

[X] A “Sources Sought” notice was also posted in the SAM.gov under Contract Opportunities to seek possible potential sources for this item that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the Government’s requirements. The notice contained general information pertaining to the item’s requirement and requested that interested parties submit information on their products/services, company, capability, company size/profile, and any other supportive information to the Acquisition Specialist. It was posted on SAM.gov on 8/27/2021 with a suspense date of 9/03/2021.

7. This is a 1st time buy for DLA. Therefore, there are no previous price analyses or technical documentation that can be obtained to substantiate or determine price fair and reasonableness. Since the estimated total is under $2,000,000 threshold, other than cost and pricing data will be obtained from the contractor to provide additional support for price reasonableness determination. The buyer will also use the resources available through the Pricing Office.

Negotiation procedures may be used pending on cost/price analysis results and competition.

Based on the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Based on aforementioned, ABB Enterprise Software Inc. (0D3T2) is the only approved source for this item that is being acquired for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer and this part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. A Market Research Survey for the same item as this procurement was sent recently under PR 0086526924 (RFP SPE7M5-21-R-0007) and sent to ABB Enterprise Software Inc. (0D3T2) on 11/02/2020 to be completed and returned.
