The use of the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is based on:

[ X ] AMC 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

The following AMSC descriptions are available in DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2.

[ X ] AMSC C. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

On 10/16/2025, the Product Specialist of record, certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certification is attached.

[ X ] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 1/21/2026 for a period of 15 days.

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

A price analysis will be conducted based on a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation and/or a comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid. Certified cost or pricing data, when required by FAR 15.403-4, and data other than certified cost or pricing data, will be requested and obtained as necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price, and a cost analysis may be performed on the data submitted.

CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORP (98247)

Summary of information received relevant to sourcing (i.e., dealer/manufacturer; intended manufacturing source): Canadian Commercial Corporation (98247) responded through email but did not return a market survey. Based on previous market research done within the calendar year, they stated that they are a Crown corporation of the Government of Canada, and they 100% subcontract this NSN through Pratt & Whitney Canada Corporation. They are incorporated in DoD’s regulations under DFARS 225.870. They stated that this part has a net price of , and a minimum lead time of that may change depending on the quantity. They also stated that any contracts with Canadian suppliers should be awarded to and administered by Canadian Commercial Corporation. Because of this, they are listed as an interested party.

No market surveys were returned. No results were returned on GSA or CID database. Market research did not yield any readily available published catalog price lists, schedules, or other forms of commercial pricing that are regularly maintained and updated by a manufacturer or vendor, and that are available to the general public for inspection. There is no evidence of sale prices at which sales were made to a significant number of buyers constituting the general public. Therefore, the Contracting Officer determines this item to be non-commercial, thus FAR 15 procedures will be utilized.
