DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY J&A: SPRDL1-18-R-0040

implies that parts are candidates for full and open competition. Other AMSCs such as K, M, N, Q, and S may imply limited competition when two or more independent sources exist yet the technical data package is inadequate for full and open competition.) AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

Part II – Statement of Urgency

1. TACOM Life Cycle Management Command’s (LCMC’s) Director, Integrated

Logistics Support Center (ILSC), approved a Class Statement of Urgency on 8 Jun 2012 for requirements, such as those described in paragraph 3 above, supporting Operational Requirements, reset and other ARMY priorities in accordance with the Sustainment Readiness Model (SRM). A summary of the rationale for urgency follows:

a. As authorized by FAR 6.302-2 “Unusual and Compelling Urgency”, procurement by other than full and open competition is necessary because the U.S. Government does not own or have rights to the technical data for the Sight Extension, 01-077-7584 Under these requirements, U.S. Army troops are on heightened alert and in sustained combat, deployed to Afghanistan as part of ongoing Overseas Contingency Operations (OCOs). U.S. forces in combat zones, with the associated increase in mission readiness, have adopted an operational tempo for use, maintenance, and repair of deployed/deploying ground systems, water craft, water and petroleum systems, armament, small arms, and other TACOM-managed equipment, in excess of normal peacetime requirements. Requisitions for spare and repair parts and other supply items from this theater of operation are designated as urgent, and must be filled immediately to maintain readiness.

b. Headquarters, Department of Army (HQDA) Operational Order (OPORD) 04-01, dated November 24, 2003, cites the necessity for the Army to reset/reconstitute units to meet global commitments and contingencies. This is to ensure worldwide troop readiness for expeditious redeployment in current and future operations. The reset repair program restores TACOM-managed equipment returning from Southwest Asia to pre-combat operational capability (TM – 10/20 standards to have units returned, in a short timeframe, to combat condition prior to re-deployment. Reset places demands on the Sustainment (wholesale) supply system for necessary parts to begin repairs when equipment arrives. Since TACOM-managed equipment repaired under reset is likely to re-deploy in the near future, the expediency of this effort is critical to the success of OCOs.

(1) The OPORD states, “For deployed unit equipment requiring further repair upon return to home station, all repair sources will be considered to bring equipment to TM- 10/20 standards, such as field units, contract maintenance, aviation OLR sites, National Guard facilities, organic industrial base, depots and arsenals, and the private industrial base." With such a range of repair sites/facilities and the anticipated workload, any disruptions in the supply pipeline for critical repair parts/components will adversely impact unit Reset efforts.

c. For the purpose of this Class Statement of Urgency, OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, reset requirements and other ARMY priorities in accordance with the SRM consist of both immediate needs and sustainment that exceeds existing assets.

OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS and SRM requirements are the added quantity to support the density of systems fielded, deployed, or identified to deploy in the operation for up to one year, due to increased operational tempo and environmental factors, which could not be procured to support theater operations in a timely manner under normal acquisition procedures. Reset sustainment requirements are the added quantity to support repairs of equipment returning from Southwest Asia which could not be procured to support repair operations in a timely manner under normal acquisition procedures.

d. Diverting existing assets to support OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, reset and other ARMY priorities in accordance with the SRM can result in further urgent requirements in worldwide theaters of operation other than Afghanistan, causing non-mission capable systems or line stopper situations for on-going repairs. When this happens, the OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, reset and SRM requirements will include such added requirements, since they stemmed from OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS drawdown. These other worldwide urgent requirements will consist of priority 01-03 demands for backorders and anticipated requirements, that the wholesale system cannot satisfy through normal acquisition procedures, which could result in dead lined weapons/systems, reduced readiness, and impact unit reset timelines and/or line stoppers.

e. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, reset, and other priorities in accordance with the SRM purchase requests (PRs) will be issued if, and only if, the required items to execute and sustain the operation are not available in the Defense wholesale supply system.

(1) Failure to execute such requirements as quickly as possible will reduce the ability of TACOM-managed weapons/systems to perform their intended missions in a potential combat area. We cannot tolerate the resulting increase in the risk of damage to and loss of American property, lives, or combat effectiveness that might compromise combat mission success. Thus, all requisitions supporting OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, reset and other SRM priorities have the utmost urgency, and must be expedited at every stage of the requirement generation and contract award processes.

(2) Failure to provide forecasted sustainment for OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, reset and other priorities in accordance with the SRM will directly result in dead lined weapons/systems and reduced readiness, and imposes a direct threat to continued support of operations. There are no assets on hand for sustainment, and RESET. There is no LTC in place for sustainment. All quantities are in support UMR, FMR, RESET. All previous buys were dollar limited and were short term fixes for UMR support. It is also necessary to immediately supply the other worldwide urgent requirements as the units involved may deploy for OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS in the future and are required to maintain readiness for potential threats that may arise in other areas of the world.

f. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS/reset PRs are distinguished from other PRs via the following factors:

(1) Processing Priority (PPRI) 01 or 02;

(2) The phrase “Operation Enduring Freedom” and reset– Expedite IAW ILSC Class SOU” in the “Available for Local Procurement Use” area of the PWD;

g. To expedite processing of OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS and reset PRs, the contracting center should use this Class Statement of Urgency for all such PRs in lieu of requesting individual Statements of Urgency on an item-by-item basis. The Director, TACOM ILSC, certifies that all PRs issued by ILSC bearing OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS and reset designators identified in paragraph 5f above, fall under the Class Statement of Urgency and may be processed accordingly.

h. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, reset and urgent requirements based on the SRM have been calculated and identified in the attached worksheet for this urgent noncompetitive procurement.

It is proposed to negotiate a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with General Dynamics Land Systems, CAGE 7W356, for part number 12285300. Market research and Contracting Officer knowledge show that General Dynamics Land Systems is the only source capable of providing this item within the timeframe necessary to support operations. Furthermore, soliciting only General Dynamics Land Systems will decrease contracting administrative lead time by removing the requirement for synopsis and shortening the amount of time the solicitation is on the street.

2. Extent of Competition: Due to the urgency of this buy, no further action will be taken to increase competition on this buy. No market survey will be conducted. Further, the procurement will not be synopsized due to the urgency of the requirement. Future buys of this item will be competed. This requirement is only being solicited under this urgent J&A to expedite delivery until a normal replenishment contract can be put in place.

3. The POC for this action is

4. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination: I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government for this contract action will be fair and reasonable based on FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(vi) and/or 15.404-1(b)(2)(vii). Normal acquisition procedures will be followed to determine that the contract price is fair and reasonable. Based on the estimated dollar value, Certified cost and pricing data will not be required to justify price reasonableness.
