SOLICITATION [ZSOLICITATION_NUMBER]

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (March 2023)

The use of the authority cited is based on:

AMSC Q. The Government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both needed to purchase this part from additional sources. The Government has been unable to economically buy the data or rights to the data, although the part has been undergoing full screening for 12 or more months. Breakout to competition has not been achieved, but current, continuing actions to obtain necessary rights to data or adequate, re-procurement technical data indicate breakout to competition is expected to be achieved. This part may be a candidate for reverse engineering or other techniques to obtain technical data. All AMSC Q items are required to be reviewed within the timeframes cited in 2-203(b). If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

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

The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 12/09/2024 for a duration of 15 days. At the completion of the synopsis period this PR will be solicited for a minimum of 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

A sources sought notice was posted to SAM.gov on 10/04/2024 for a duration of seven days. (See paragraph 8 for additional information.)

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

The proposal(s) will be evaluated according to best value procedures. Evaluation factors are price, past performance, delivery and small business participation. All factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price. As the offered prices become more equal the relative importance of all other evaluation factors becomes more significant.

The estimated total price of the procurement is over two million dollars, and therefore the Truthful Cost or Pricing statute (formerly known as The Truth in Negotiations Act or TINA) applies. The contracting officer will be requiring Certified Cost and Price Data from prime contractors for themselves and their subcontractors. Under the statute the Contracting Officer is required to obtain accurate, complete, and current data from the offerors. This information will be submitted to Land & Maritime’s local Pricing Office for review and submission to the DCMA for evaluation and suggested negotiation targets. This will aid the contracting officer in the determination of a fair and reasonable price and aid in the negotiation process. The Buyer will also request, as needed, Other than Certified Cost and Price Data to further support a fair and reasonable determination.

Cost or pricing data in accordance with (IAW) FAR 15.403-4 will be required as the item is deemed as NOT commercial, and there is no expectation of competition. Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines the anticipated cost to the Government will be determined fair and reasonable.
