4. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

5. The Government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end item or weapon system. The acquisition is restricted to the following source(s) of supply, which are the only source(s) known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies and the only source(s) currently approved by the design control activity.

CAGE COMPANY NAME

82647 Sensata Technologies, Inc.

19710 MPC Products Corporation

The use of the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is based on:

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

The following AMSC descriptions are available in DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2.

[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 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.

On November 21, 2024, the Product Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certification is attached.

6. The following efforts are being taken to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable:

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about April 15, 2025 for a period of 15 days.

[ ] A synopsis exception cited in FAR 5.202 applies (Explain): __________________.

[X] Dealers of the approved source(s) will be solicited.

[X] The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days.

C002725 Cross-Out

[ ] Other (Explain): __________________.

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

A price analysis will be conducted based on a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation and/or a comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid. Certified cost or pricing data, when required by FAR 15.403-4, and data other than certified cost or pricing data, will be requested and obtained as necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price, and a cost analysis may be performed on the data submitted.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Sources Sought Notice:

[X] A Sources Sought Notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov on November 26, 2024, for a period of five business days and yielded the following results: None.

Market Survey:

[X] A market survey was conducted on/during November 26, 2024.

Names and CAGE Codes of vendors contacted: Peereless Electronics (83803), Flame Enterprises (2V320), MPC Products Corporation (19710), and Sensata Technologies (82647). Concord Components (1UHB2) was contacted on April 10, 2025.

Names and CAGE Codes of vendors responding: Peereless Electronics (83803).

Summary of information received relevant to sourcing (i.e., dealer/manufacturer; intended manufacturing source): from Peerless Electronics stated on April 18, 2025, that they were having issues sending their response back and asked if they could still respond back. I responded by stating that they could still send in their response to the market survey. As of May 6, 2025, I have not received any other responses from Peerless.

Procurement History:

[X] A review of procurement history for potential manufacturing sources other than those listed above Section 5 above yielded the following results (If none, so state): None.

General Internet Search:

[X] A general internet search for potential manufacturing sources other than those listed above Section 5 above yielded the following results (If none, so state): None.

9. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is (If none, so state):

CAGE COMPANY NAME

83803 Peerless Electronics

10. The following actions are being taken to overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition is made:

[X] The solicitation contains DLAD Procurement Note, L04 Offers for Part Numbered Items, which describes the process for submitting an alternate offer on the current procurement and requesting evaluation of an alternate product’s technical acceptability for future procurements of the same item.

DLA Land and Maritime encourages vendors that may be interested in becoming an approved source, even if there is not an active solicitation, to contact the DLA Land and Maritime Source Approval Monitor at DSCCAO- SAR@dla.mil for additional information on the steps required to submit a Source Approval Request Package for evaluation.

In accordance with DFARS PGI 206.303-2, [X] A prior justification is not available since all prior acquisitions were under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

I hereby certify that the information contained in this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. If not exceeding $750,000, this signature serves as the approval.
