ORIGINAL

ADDENDUM (attach copy of original J & A for add-ons or revisions)

The Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Land and Maritime is the contracting activity.

The action being approved is the acquisition of supplies or a firm-fixed-price Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) on other than a full and open competition basis. This is necessary because the Government lacks complete technical data required to manufacture the supplies.

The supplies required to meet the using activity's needs are described as follows:

4. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) -available from only one or a limited number of sources. At this time, there are only two approved manufacturing sources for the NSN item:

NSN CAGE CAGE NAME PART NUMBER

4730011589595 63630 SEANAIR MACHINE CO. INC. 70105-28034-041

4730011589595 78286 SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION 70105-28034-041

The use of the authority cited above is supported by the following Acquisition Method Code (AMC) and Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) of the NSN, which was confirmed as complete and accurate by the Strategic Acquisitions Program Directorate (SAPD) Product Specialist on 2/12/2021 during the technical review of the NSN for placement on this long-term contract initiative.

SOLICITATION SPE7MX21R00

AMC 1: Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

AMSC R: 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. 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 this item, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

5. The sources listed in the table above in paragraph 4, confirmed by the SAPD Product Specialist 2/12/2021 during the technical review of the NSN for placement on this long-term contract initiative, are currently the only sources with the necessary qualifications, ability, and approval to manufacture the item. The listed sources are the only sources that possess the complete technical data, rights to the data, and capability necessary to manufacture the item for the required form, fit, function, and quality.

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

The acquisition will be synopsized at least 15 days prior to issuance of solicitation.

The solicitation will be posted to DIBBS.

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

Adequate price competition may be received, and price analysis will also be conducted using historical pricing, the Producer’s Price Index (PPI), and a learning curve analysis. Certified cost or pricing data will also be required unless adequate price competition is received. Based on the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates the costs to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

A Sources Sought Notice was posted 3/9/2021 for seven days to beta.SAM.gov. Vendors were requested to provide the name, location, and points of contact for any sources able to manufacture the item to the acquisition specialist listed in the announcement. In addition, a market survey was attached to the Sources Sought Notice for interested vendors to complete and return.

Potential sources would be added to the solicitation mailing list. No responses were received.

Market Surveys were sent to the two manufacturing sources listed above in paragraph four, and to a dealer appearing in the procurement history: large business Boeing Distribution Services, Inc. CAGE 2V484. Only Seanair Machine returned a completed survey with interest in participating in this long-term contract initiative. Sikorsky responded; "We do not do IQC contracts and due to the high volume of quotes received by Sikorsky we cannot do market surveys". Boeing Distribution Services did not respond to the initial request for market survey information or follow-ups. A summary of Seanair Machine’s response follows:

Item is not commercial

Additional research was also conducted by the acquisition specialist as indicated in the bullets below.

Researched item on-line via the internet for commercial availability. The item was not found for sale on the internet or on the GSA Advantage website.

Reviewed Technical Guidance Information (TGI) in the Material Master (MM). The NSN is not identified as a commercial item in the MM.

Reviewed previous procurements of the item for acquisition method and any commerciality determinations: the items have all been previously purchased under small purchase procedures, below SAT, without any commercial review or determination.

Based on the above research, the Contracting Officer has not determined the item to be commercial and it will be procured under FAR part 15 procedures.

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

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.

During the project development stage, the NSN included on this solicitation was provided to the DLA Land & Maritime Value Management (VM) Unit and the Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD) Product Specialist for review; no additional sources were identified during those reviews and all means to obtain a technical data package adequate for manufacture of the item has been exhausted.

10. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition: Seanair Machine Co., Inc., CAGE 63630.

11. This item is subject to the following methods of locating additional sources in an effort to overcome barriers to competition:

SOLICITATION SPE7MX21R00

The solicitation will contain DLAD Procurement Notes: L04-Offers for Part Numbered Items and M06-Evaluation of Offers for Part Numbered Items. Offers for alternate products may be submitted in response to the solicitation and may be considered for the current or future procurements.

Forecast information is available to all potential sources for both sole source and competitive items. The DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application (SRVA) is a database that is available via the DLA internet Bid Board System (DIBBS.) SRVA provides potential sources the opportunity to search for information on DLA’s anticipated requirements based on updated monthly forecasts. Essentially it provides 24 months of sole source and competitive projected purchase order quantities. Potential alternate sources for current sole source items can easily see DLA’s forecasted procurements and can contact the Value Management Unit to become approved sources for sole source and code and part number items. The DLA Land & Maritime Value Management Unit continually seeks out sole source, limited competition, over-priced, low reliability and hard to buy items to improve their value and support posture. The DLA Land & Maritime internet website contains information for all potential sources on how to challenge prices, how to submit a Value Engineering Change proposal, a link to DoD’s Value Engineering program and the necessary contact info for both the DLA Value Engineering program and the DoD Value Engineering program.

12. Recent procurements of the item were conducted under SAT procedures and did not require justification for other than full and open competition.
