The use of the authority cited in other than 10. U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) above:

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

For Official Use Only Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 & 3.104

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[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.

After an e-mail follow-up was sent to the product specialist of records for this item by the buyer, the AMC/AMSC for this procurement was changed from a 3B to 1B in the system after February 2, 2020. The Product Specialist stated that the AMC/AMSC is 1B and is a sourced controlled drawing item. The Source Control Drawing (1527409) is proprietary to Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. (89305) with currently the only approved sources of supply cited on the source controlled drawing known to possess the manufacturing capability, technical data, and expertise to produce this item are: Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. (89305) P/N 382637, API Harowe, Inc. (06989) P/N 382637, and Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing (45934) P/N 382637.

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

(X) The acquisition was synopsized on January 8, 2020.

(X) The solicitation will be posted for 30 days and dealers of the approved sources will be solicited.

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

Formal C/P Data will not be required because the current estimated contract price is not above the price threshold of $2 Million (FAR 15.403-4 and 10 U.S.C. 2306(a)). Offerors may be required to provide additional information for determining reasonableness of price. The buyer only intends to award this NSN when a fair and reasonable price determination can be made. The Contracting Officer will conduct price analysis by reviewing historical pricing, usage of the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. The acquisition specialist will not be going through the DLA Land and Maritime pricing office for assistance. Negotiations may take place in an effort to comply with DoD Material Cost Reduction Initiative. An option quantity will not be used for this procurement.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

10. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is: Norcatec, LLC (9A148).

11. The following actions are being taken to identify additional sources:

(X) The solicitation contains DLAD Procurement Note L22, Restriction of Alternate Offers for Source Controlled Items (September 2017), which is required to be included in all solicitations for source control items and directs offerors who are interested in qualifying their product for purposes of future acquisitions to contact the design control activity specified on the source control drawing.
