JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION SPE7MX25R0010

Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 it appears both valves are made of bronze but there is a slight difference in size. In addition, the government parts (CLIN 0003 is a 4 way and CLIN 0004 is a 3 way) are comparable to the commercial part which is a 3 way. In addition, they are both used in seawater, use electric actuators, are 115 VAC, 60Hz, 1 PH and have a manual override as does the commercial part. A commercial invoice was provided for EAMDF-800MF-3W showing a price of $40,078 each. Based on this information, the Buyer determined both CLIN 0003 and 0004 commercial “of a type”. None of these items were found on GSA Advantage when searched by the buyer. After review of all of the evidence, including market research and previous procurements, the contracting officer has made the determination that the NSNs on this solicitation are commercial “of a type” and will be solicited under FAR Part 12.

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 are: Metrex Valve Corp. CAGE

21013, Kampi Components CAGE 7Z016 and BHPE Inc. (no CAGE provided).

11. These items are subject to the following methods of locating additional sources: The solicitation will contain the Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD) Procurement Notes L04 “Offers for Part Numbered Items” and M06 “Evaluation of offers for Part Numbered items.”

12. Past history was reviewed in Records Management (RM). The most recent previous procurement for CLIN 0001, 0002, 0005 and 0006 was under LTC SPE7MX21D0044 in which did require a J&A and was located in RM (Attachment 2). The most recent previous procurement for CLIN 0003 was under SPE7M024P3793 in which was under SAT and therefore does not require a J&A. The most recent previous procurement for CLIN 0004 was under SPE7MC24V8028 in which was under SAT and therefore does not require a J&A.
