This is a definite quantity contract, with no option, for a quantity of 35 each.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Market Survey [10 U.S.C. 2304(f)(3)(D)]:

Market research for this item is limited due to the specific requirements involved for the part. The product specialist has indicated that Emerson Power Transmission and Kop Flex are the only sources that possess the technical data required to manufacture this item. Normally attempts are made to review past contracts to find other sources, but this is a first-time buy. A firm fixed price contract will be issued because: The requirement is well defined, market conditions are stable and financial risks are otherwise insignificant. Material Master does not show this NSN as commercial. This item is manufactured for military use only. Item was not found in an internet search for the part number.

A market survey was conducted from 14 January to 13 February 2020. Total number of vendors contacted: 3

Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (December 2011)

Names of vendors contacted: Emerson Power Transmission (OEM), Kop Flex (OEM) and Applied Industrial (Dealer).

Names of vendors responding: None

Techniques used to conduct survey: The market survey was conducted by e-mail.

Types of information requested:

Size of Business Manufacturer or dealer Is there stock on hand Commerciality Estimated delivery Price breaks

Summary of information received:

N/A

A Sources Sought notice was posted to FedBizOps on 15-21 January 2020. No vendors expressed interest. Internet searches conducted using the part number to search. Google and Amazon searches resulted in no viable sources to indicate this item is commercial or of a type.

Therefore, it is the Contracting Officer’s determination based on information gathered through market research and government resources the item is not catalog/price listed, and thus, this is not sufficient evidence to determine the item commercial at this time

9. Additional facts supporting other than full and open competition are:

Based upon the technical certification on file in DLA Land and Maritime – VEP technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.

10. A listing of sources indicating an interest in the acquisition: None.

11. Actions being taken to overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisitions or recertification of class determination are made, this item is subject to the following methods of locating additional sources:

The solicitation contains Procurement Notes L04 (Offers for part numbered items) and M06 (Evaluation of Offers for Part Numbered Items), which permit offerors to quote alternate items.

12. This is a first time buy, therefore there are no previous J&A’s to consult.

I hereby certify that the information contained in this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
