6. Efforts to Obtain Competition:

a. Effective Competition: The Government will not compete this effort for the reasons outlined in paragraph 5 above. This procurement action will be synopsized in SAM.gov. The notices required by FAR 5.201 shall be published, and any bids or proposals received shall be considered.

b. Subcontracting Competition: To ensure DRS competitively awards subcontracts to the maximum extent possible, the contract contains FAR clauses 52.244-5, “Competition in Subcontracting”. Additionally, DRS submitted an Individual Subcontracting Plan (ISP), dated 19 September 2016.

The DRS ISP was approved and incorporated into the contract via Attachment 0034. The Contracting Officer review’s DRS’s ISP annually in the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS). DRS will be required to submit an amendment to their ISP which will be reviewed and approved by the Contracting Officer.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: The Government will not take additional action to increase competition for this requirement, based on the information provided in Section 5 above. Should further contract actions be necessary to procure additional hardware, the Government will review each action to determine the ability to increase competition through utilization of the TDP.

13. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination:

I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government for this contract action will be fair and reasonable.

The negotiated price will be determined fair and reasonable through a combination of Cost Analysis (to thoroughly analyze each of the proposed individual cost elements) and/or price analysis (to ensure that the price agreement is consistent with the IGE and/or historical pricing). ACC-DTA has a dedicated Cost and Pricing Division with trained Cost/Price Analysts and Industrial Specialists who will assist the PCO by performing the Cost and Price analysis. The PCO will request that engineers or similar subject matter expert(s) familiar with the end item perform a technical evaluation to review labor types and quantities as well as material kinds and quantities to ensure that what is proposed is and reasonable. The Cost/Price Analyst will use the recommendations as contained in the various audits, technical reports, and historical data to develop a recommended negotiating position. The PCO will also review the detailed Government Position in a comprehensive Business Clearance Review. Certified Cost or Pricing Data will be required and will form the basis for this analysis. The Post Negotiation Memorandum (PNM) that will be reviewed and concurred upon by the Team Chief within the Pricing Division will document the results of negotiations, and the detailed Price Fair and Reasonable determination from the Contracting Officer.
