JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7LX-24-R-X033

, Product Specialist, certified that the technical information, including the

AMC/AMSC codes are complete and accurate. In accordance with FAR 6.303-2(c)(1)(ii)(B) and FAR 6.303-2(b)(5), the preceding provides a demonstration of the unique qualifications of the sources listed above to justify the use of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

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

The acquisition will be synopsized for 15 days before the solicitation is published.

At the completion of the synopsis period, the solicitation will be posted on the internet via the DLA Internet

Bid Board System (DIBBS) for a period of 30 days.

On the day that the solicitation is posted to DIBBS, a copy of the solicitation will be emailed to the approved sources for these NSNs.

Dealers of the approved sources will be solicited.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. Cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4 will not be required as these items are commercial. The buyer will utilize price analysis as well as previous past history, PPI, and learning curve analysis to establish Government Targets.

Additionally, comparison to commercial catalogs and part numbers are available on the internet and/or informal cost breakdowns will be used to make a price reasonable determination. By using the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates that the costs to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
