Product Specialist, , confirmed the following on 5/30/2023:

For NSN 5996-00-126-6139 both Symetrics and Ateez are the only sources capable of making this item. For NSN 5998-01-

298-2175 Symetrics is the only source capable of making this item. The Government DOES NOT HAVE the data or drawings for full and open competition; the approved source(s) are the only source(s) known to possess the required drawings. A contractor can submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package to be added to the drawing as an approved source, but this item cannot go out under full and open competition at this time. There ARE NOT currently 339’s out to the ESA (Engineering Support Activity).

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

The acquisition will be synopsized for 15 days prior to the solicitation opening. At the completion of the synopsis period, the

Purchase Request (PR) will be solicited on the internet for 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

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

A price analysis will be conducted using historical pricing, the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. Cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4 will be requested if the offeror’s proposal exceeds the $2M threshold for obtaining cost data, however, it is anticipated that this procurement will not exceed that threshold. Offerors may be requested to submit information other than cost or pricing data for determining price reasonableness. Based on the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates that the cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
