On 29 April 2022, the Product Specialist certified that the technical information, including the AMC/AMSC codes and approved source, is complete and accurate (See Attachment 1). Buffalo Pumps (83130) is the only source because Buffalo Pumps retains the data rights, that is not economically available to the Government, and the data necessary for manufacturing the item is essential to maintaining the quality of the part.

28 April 2022 for 7 days with no response.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. 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 (if available), usage of the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. 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.
