JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7MX-21-R-0147

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (May 2018) data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

The data or the rights to use the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources are not owned by the Government and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase them. Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing (45934), Honeywell International (97896), and United Dynamics (0XWR4) are uniquely qualified because they are the only known sources with the data or rights to the data necessary to manufacture the item. All means to obtain a technical data package adequate for manufacture of the item have been exhausted. The Product Specialist, on 07/09/2021, confirmed the technical information on which this J&A is premised is complete and accurate. The AMC/AMSC code of 1R was confirmed by the Product Specialist, and that the approved sources are Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing (45934), Honeywell International (97896), and United Dynamics (0XWR4).

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about September 29, 2021 for 15 days. At the completion of the synopsis period, this PR will be solicited on the internet for a minimum of 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

[X] Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited.

In an effort to research and obtain dealer competition, the Government posted a sources sought on Beta.SAM.gov from 07/28/2021 to 08/04/2021. No additional sources responded or were found.

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

The buyer will utilize price analysis techniques such as comparison to past purchases of same item to determine price reasonableness. Informal cost/price data will be requested if determined to be necessary. Buyer will also utilize PPI Data. PPI Data provides timely, accurate price and cost analysis, and historical records for thousands of commodity prices and wages around the globe, allowing procurement professionals to understand supplier cost structure and better negotiate supplier quotes. The buyer anticipates receiving more than one offer, and adequate price competition between dealers is expected to exist at time of evaluation of offers. Certified Cost and Pricing Data is not required as the contract maximum is below the required threshold. Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

In additional to the sources sought notice, the Government sent market surveys to the approved sources on 07/28/2021 with a response date of 08/04/2021. Three responses were received, but only one vendor, United Dynamics (0XWR4) returned the market survey. Integrated Procurement Technologies (4K0V2) indicated they were interested but did not return a completed survey. Honeywell International (97896) indicated they were not interested and Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing (45934) did not respond. Market surveys were sent to the following vendors:
