DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

The use of the authority cited below:

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

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[X] AMSC L*. The annual buy value of this part falls below the screening threshold established by DoD components and field activities. However, this part has been screened for additional known sources, resulting in either confirmation that the initial source exists or that other sources may supply the part. No additional screening was performed to identify the competitive or noncompetitive conditions that would result in assignment of a different AMSC. This code shall not be used when screening parts entering the inventory. This code shall be used only to replace AMSC O for parts under the established screening threshold. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

The Contract Specialist verified the AMC/AMSC for this procurement with the Product Specialist on November 15, 2023. The Product Specialist stated that the AMC/AMSC coding is a 1/L with no recent changes. DLA has stated the drawing is available, but lacks the adequate data to make the item competitive. The drawing is owned by Hamilton Sundstrand. Eaton Aerospace (02750) and Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation (73030) remain the only approved sources for this procurement at this time, and they are the only sources known to possess the requisite data to manufacture this item.

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

[X] A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.gov on November 22, 2023. The Sources Sought notice had a response date of November 30, 2023.

[X] The acquisition was synopsized on December 5, 2023. 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).

No inquiries regarding the sources sought notice or the synopsis posting have been received as of 12/12/2023. The approved sources and recent past awardees will be contacted again when the solicitation has been issued.

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

Certified Cost or Pricing Data will not be required because the current estimated contract price is under the price threshold of $2,000,000 (FAR 15.403-4 and 10 U.S.C. 3702(a)(1)(A)). 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, usage of the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. The acquisition specialist may ask for assistance from the DLA Land and Maritime pricing office if necessary. 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. Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
