V. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE

QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION

REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE

(APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY)

This item, CAGE 89954 (BAE Systems) part number 101E9880G01, is source controlled for manufacture under General Electric, CAGE 99207 drawing 5071T08P01. J85 Engineering conducted a search for overhaul instructions for this item and found none to exist and no contract repair history. There is no tech data available for this item which supports/used on J85-GE-21 engine models. Tech data for this item is proprietary to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The BAE Systems division CAGE 63670 was found to be the current repair source as of late 2016. A telephone discussion between the Air Force's engineering, item management, production, program and management personnel was held 5 Dec 16 with , Principal Contracts Administrator and his staff to discuss repair and data history of this item and to discuss possible contracting methods. stated that no outside repair sources had ever been licensed by CAGE 63670.The manufacturer has never released tech data for repair.

The turbine discharge temperature sensing system controls nozzle area to prevent excessive TS temperatures and prevent compressor stall at ambient temperatures below -2°F. This sensing system can override the power lever setting to control nozzle area. The amplifier compares temperatures to a preset reference temperature on a standard day. The amplifier compares the TS temperature and the reference temperature. If a temperature error is sensed, the amplifier will operate the TS motor, which can override the power lever cam and open the nozzle.

The check and test for Digital Electronic Amplifier is required before repairing the J85-21 engine used by F-5 Navy aircraft . The quantity repair is based on the Air Force requirements each quarter including the Navy Requirement Data Exchange List (RDEL) of per quarter.

Contractor shall perform check and test, and if unit fails, all necessary repairs will be performed to return to serviceable condition, and if found serviceable, return serviceable units back to the USAF.

Currently, BAE Systems, is the only known source that can satisfy the Government’s requirement. There are no commercial alternatives. The cognizant engineering activity has determined that data to define and control reliability limits cannot be obtained nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications for this purpose and verified that BAE is the only repair source for this item.

421 SCMS believes that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Air Force’s requirement in the repair of J85-21 engines and the availability of aircraft supported by the J85-21 engine. It is imperative that these parts are readily available to ensure that the requirements of the Air Force are met.

Accordingly, BAE Systems is the only responsible source capable of providing the items described in Section III above.

VI. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS

VIII. DESCRIPTION OF THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND

THE RESULTS, OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASONS MARKET

RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED

Further, the requirement cannot be modified and be satisfied with a commercial or a modified commercial item. This is a non-developmental item.

This item is unique to J85 military engine.
