4. The statutory authority permitting for other than full and open competition is:

[X] 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

5. If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code:

RENK AMERICA (CAGE: 02978)

The use of the authority cited below:

[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 (1 NSN). 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 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 (3 NSNs). 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.

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, 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.

In accordance with FAR 6.303-2(c) 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). On February 11, 2025, , certified that the technical information, including the AMC/AMSC codes are complete and accurate. (See Attachment 1- Tech Cert CL25041001)
