4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

Kampi Components Co., Inc. is the sole, licensed business office of Mayhue Industries, CAGE

(51408). Mayhew is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), developer, manufacturer and the only source with the requisite knowledge, technical expertise and technical data for the

J&A Number: 20-0122

LCFU and LCFU SEC-5820 Kits. OEM Mayhew advised in an email dated 31 January 2020 that they no longer bid directly to the U.S. Government; and does all business through Kampi

Components Co., Inc. To be able to perform this requirement any other source would need to possess the drawings/technical data for the LCFU and SEC-5820 Kits.

The Government does not possess the drawing/technical data for the LCFU or the LCFU SEC-

5820 Kits to support a competitive acquisition. OEM Mayhew Industries through distributor

Kampi Components Co., Inc. is the “Design Activity” for the LCFU and LCFU SEC-Kits, not

NAVAIR. Mayhew Industries through distributor Kampi Components Co., Inc. is the only source that can meet the scheduled requirement.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable.

In accordance with FAR Part 10, Market Research was conducted by a search of Part Number, NIIN, and Nomenclature via Federal Procurement Data System, Dynamic Small Business

Search, Google, Yahoo, and Dogpile internet search engines. Kampi Components Co., Inc.

(through OEM Mayhew Industries) was the only source found capable of meeting this requirement.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

In accordance with FAR 15.402, the Contracting Officer shall ensure that all supplies and services provided under this contract are procured at a fair and reasonable price. An analysis of

Kampi Components Co., Inc. proposal will be performed by technical analysts and contract specialists, with the assistance of Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and Defense

Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) auditors as needed. The Contracting Officer will analyze the various cost elements that are presented in the proposal, as well as review the actuals from previous procurements, if applicable. The Contracting Officer will (as needed) use Government expertise, including DCMA, DCAA, and other Government resources, to evaluate the proposal material, labor, and subcontracts. A detailed report, developed as part of the Government evaluation, will be utilized to establish a NAVAIR position. As discussed in this paragraph, the

Contracting Officer will use cost/or price analysis as the basis for negotiating a fair and reasonable price for the supplies and services covered by this J&A.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

For the reasons set forth in paragraph 5, NAVAIR has no plan at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NAVAIR will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
