JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7MX-22-R-0064

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (May 2018)

The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate or legible data to purchase this part from other than current source(s). DLA does not possess adequate data, lacks rights to data, and/or has no record of an alternate Design Control Activity approved source. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. Pall Aeropower (18350) is uniquely qualified because it is the only known source 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 02/03/2022, confirmed the technical information on which this J&A is premised is complete and accurate. The AMC/AMSC code of 3D was confirmed by the Product Specialist, and that the approved source is Pall Aeropower (18350).

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about March 15, 2022 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 SAM.gov from 02/09/2022 to 02/16/2022. 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 a market survey to the approved source and vendors on 02/09/2022 with a response date of 02/16/2022. Three responses were received. Integrated Procurement Technologies (4K0V2) responded stating PTI Technologies were no longer an approved source. Pall Aeropower (18350) and FBC Enterprises (5ZD19) returned the market survey. The market survey was sent to the following:

In addition, internet research was conducted. However, no additional sources were found. As of 03/01/2022, no additional sources responded to the notice.
