JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7M521R0034 / PR 0089767181

[X] AMSC B. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-

100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD- 100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

On 6/17/2020, the buyer received confirmation from the product specialist of record that the AMC/AMSC of 3/B was accurate.

Per the Product Specialist, Cobham (93346) is the only approved source per the limited rights on the source-controlled drawing. Currently, there is no other source of supply for this material.

Therefore, Cobham is uniquely qualified as they are the only known source that possesses the necessary technical data for the manufacturing of this item, thus, demonstrating unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge for this NSN.

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about July 2021 and will be solicited on the DLA Internet Bid Board (DIBBS).

A Sources Sought was posted to https://beta.SAM.gov/ on 6/10/2021 with a respond by date of 6/18/2021.

o No responses or inquiries were received from any interested party.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

Certified Cost or Pricing Data and other cost or pricing data will be used to determine a fair and reasonable price. Other cost/price data may include the historical prices paid for exact item, a Learning Curve and PPI, current market value of item and/or similar items, price analysis, negotiation procedures, traceability, and the use of resources available through the Pricing Office.

As is, the total value exceeds TINA ($2.0M) at the top price break range, and IAW FAR 15.403-4(a)(1), Certified Cost/ Price Data will be requested and cost or price analysis will be required to be performed by the Pricing Office, as well as a DCMA audit of the Certified Cost/Pricing data.

8. Market Research / Efforts to Obtain Competition:

A market survey was sent to Cobham (93346) on 6/10/2021.

On 6/14/2021, Cobham responded to the market survey with the following information:

o Cobham is a large business manufacturer and is registered in SAM.

o There is a minimum order quantity of 30 for this item.

After reviewing all market research, which includes contacting knowledgeable individuals (Product Specialist/ ESA), use of market surveys, sources sought notices, procurement history, and research of the market through key words searches on the internet and database, the Contracting Officer has determined that it is in the best interest of the Government to proceed as a non-commercial item, using FAR Part 15 procedures in lieu of FAR Part 12.

9. Additional facts supporting other than full and open competition are:

[ X ] Based upon the technical certification on file in DLA Land and Maritime – VEP technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.

10. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is:

Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (93346)

11. This item is subject to the following methods of locating additional sources:

Solicitation will contain DLA Procurement Note, L22 Restriction of Alternate Offers for Source Controlled Items.
