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 9/27/2022, the Product Specialist (see Attachment #1) certified that the technical information, including the AMC/AMSC and approved sources, is complete and accurate. The product specialist validated that this NSN has an Acquisition Method Code/Acquisition Method Suffix Code(s) (AMC/AMSC) of 1/C. Tyonek Fabrication Corp (1XPL6), TFAB Manufacturing (32SM9) and Global Circuit Innovations (7DGP6) are uniquely qualified because they are the only known sources with the data or rights to the data necessary to manufacture the item.

A Sources Sought was posted to SAM on 9/28/2022 for 15 days. Two responses were received from Ability & Drive (38WY7) and Wisecom Technologies (88KZ6).

6. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The most recent procurement was in 9/2022 for 349 units at $2290.05 per unit and was based on contracting officer’s analysis of contract history (PRC BG).

This will be a firm, fixed price contract to a DLA Direct stocking location. IAW FAR 19.702(a)(1) a subcontracting plan will not be required as the procurement will be solicited as a Total Small Business Set Aside.

IAW FAR 19.702(b), Certified Cost or Pricing Data will be required as the estimated maximum value will exceed $2 million.

Negotiations may be used pending price analysis and competition.

Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

Length of contract: A firm, fixed price contract for a definite quantity with no options will be issued.
