The use of the authority cited below:

[ X ] AMC 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

[ X ] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[X] AMSC C. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION

accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. 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.

[X] AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

[X] AMSC R. The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

[X] AMSC Z. This part is a commercial/nondevelopmental/off-the-shelf item. Commercial item descriptions, commercial vendor catalog or price lists or commercial manuals assigned a technical manual number apply. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are available, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid (When one or a limited number of sources are available, then a J&A is required. When an item is coded with AMSC “Z” and is listed on an interchange catalog or appears on a commercial cross reference list, this constitutes full and open competition, and a J&A is not necessary).

For those items that are coded with an AMSC of C, the listed sources are the only companies at the current time that have gone through the source approval process to have their part numbers approved for these NSNs. The approved sources retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government. Any company offering products other than those approved would need to get their part numbers approved.

For those items that are coded AMSC D and R, the listed sources are uniquely qualified because they are the only sources that own the data or data rights necessary to manufacture the items. Additionally, the data needed to acquire these items competitively is not available.

For those items that are coded with an AMSC of Z, the listed approved sources have material available for these items; the Government knows of no other sources, nor is technical data available. On May 22, 2023, Product Specialist, , confirmed that the items are Commercial as it is available in Allisons online catalog and other online sources however they all offer the Allison part number. (See Attachment #4)

In accordance with FAR 6.303-2(c)(1)(ii)(B) and FAR 6.303-2(b)(5), the following provides a demonstration of the unique qualifications of the sources listed above to justify the use of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). February 9, 2023, , Quality Assurance Specialist, certified that the technical information, including the AMC/AMSC codes are complete and accurate.

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