JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7LX20R0109

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (May 2018) 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 ] Other: The Government has reserved the right to approve sources and only CAGE 4WR67 has been approved at this time. In addition, per the approved manufacturer parts list for these NSNs in SAP, only CAGE 4WR67 has been identified as having the proper and complete technical data and manufacturing expertise to supply the items to DLA and the military services that use them. Therefore, competition must be limited to offers of the project of CAGE 4WR67. Most recent technical reviews were conducted in January 2020 for the NSNs and no additional sources were identified at that time. In addition, a technical review in support of a potential LTC was performed during project development. The NSNs were determined to be suitable again for an LTC.

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

[ X ] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 5/11/2020 [ X ] Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited.

[X ] Other: The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 5/11/2020 for 15 days prior to the solicitation opening.

At the completion of the synopsis period, this PR will be solicited on the Internet for 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

This will be a three-year base period with two, one-year option periods set up as a firm fixed price with annual price adjustments, IDQ contract subject to FAR Part 12, Commercial items. As such, the price analysis for future years will be based on the Global Insights Producer Price Index (PPI) forecasts. The Global Insights PPI forecast provides timely, accurate price and cost analysis, and historical records for thousands of commodity prices and wages around the globe, allowing procurement professionals to understand supplier cost structure and better negotiate supplier quotes. Based on the results of market research, the buyer and Contracting Officer anticipates receiving more than one offer, and adequate price competition between dealers is expected to exist at the time of evaluation of offers. The buyer will request other than certified cost/price data from offerors if deemed necessary at time of offer evaluation. Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

DLA Land and Maritime conducted various forms of market research including the publishing of a formal Sources Sought notice and market survey to beta.sam.gov. In addition to the publishing of a Sources Sought notice, the Sourcing Strategy team’s Contract Specialist also researched the procurement history for the items on the proposed solicitation and emailed each of the suppliers that still had a valid registered CAGE.
