JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7MX-22-R-0139

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (May 2018) uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the 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.

Mr. , a SAPD Product Specialist did a technical review on 04/05/2022. Based on his review he states that all means to obtain a technical data package adequate for manufacture of these items has been exhausted. Mr. confirmed the AMC/AMSC in his technical review and certified the information as complete and accurate.

The approved sources are the only known sources with the ability, knowledge, and rights to manufacture these items. Per the Product Specialist, the manufacturers listed in the table above are the approved OEMs and are the only sources provided by the services for each NIIN.

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

The acquisition was synopsized for 15 days on 08/09/2022.

The solicitation will be posted to DIBBS for 30 days.

A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov from 07/07/2022 to 07/14/2022 with no responses received.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. This will be a 2-year Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). Certified Cost/Pricing Data (CCPD) is not required since the dollar amount of the contract maximum falls below the threshold. The pricing office may be consulted for any issues that arise regarding price.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Market Research was conducted from 09/23/2021 to 08/09/2022 3 vendors were contacted with the following results:

Ralbo, Inc. CAGE 7Z048 was contacted on 7/7/2022 with no response. Ralbo uses a marketing representative, Ordnance Technology Service, which was also contacted and did respond with market research pertaining to the Ralbo part.

Ordnance Technology Service, CAGE 0F1X1 was contacted on 7/7/2022 and again on 7/15/2022.

Ordnance Technology Service is the marketing representative for Ralbo. They stated that they are interested and completed a market research survey. Ordnance Technology Service has been the supplier for all buys for this item since 2011.

Marotta Controls, Inc. CAGE 99657 was contact on 7/7/2022. They responded on 7/14/2022 and indicated that they were not interested in this potential contract. They cited that they’d bid on contract for this product multiple times in the past and were never successful in receiving an award.

A review has been conducted of the item to determine if commercial items or non-developmental items are available to meet the Government’s needs or could be modified to meet the Government’s needs. According to the market research provided by Ordnance Technology Service, Inc, this item is not commercial. This item did not appear to be available for purchase in the GSA schedule. Similar items did not appear to be available from the manufacturer/distributor when searching for websites and internet sales. No catalog or commercial price list could be found by the contracting specialist. The COTS field in the Material Master of SAP shows “No”. This item does not appear to be available to the general public based on indications in market research as well as research completed by the contract specialist. The items are determined to be not commercial and will be solicited under FAR Part 15.

9. Additional facts supporting other than full and open competition are:

Based upon the technical certification on file in DLA Land and Maritime – VEP technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. There are no open Value Engineering Projects.

10. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is: (If none, so state) Ordnance Technology Service, CAGE 0F1X1

11. The following actions are being taken to identify additional sources:

Solicitation contains DLA Procurement Note, L04 Offers for Part Numbered Items Solicitation contains DLA Procurement Note, M06 Evaluation of Offers for Part Numbered Items In accordance with DFARS PGI 206.304, the Contracting Officer searched the previous awards in the procurement history in Records Management for previous J&A’s. This part has not been procured on an LTC since 1996 and the Contracting Specialist was unable to locate the J&A for SPM700-96-D-9714.

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.
