PART II - Technical Information and Certification

1. The US Army TACOM LCMC requires the acquisition of the above item. The only approved source(s) for the above item is (are):

Contractor(s) Name: Benchmark Electronic Manufacturing Solutions Hellyer Ave, San Jose, CA 95138

Cage: 323N3 Part Number: 13018600 POC Gerald Leo (408) 754 9801

2. Reasons the item is not suitable for full and open competition:

a. Status of the Acquisition Data: Presently Benchmark is the prime contractor for the FS3 Control Box Assembly. The Government does not have access to the technical data that Benchmark used, and no other contractors have this proprietary data.

b. Efforts to Increase Competition or Qualify a New Source in Relation to this Procurement: Presently no other efforts are under way to obtain a new source, and no funding is available by which this can be accomplished.

c. Demonstration of Approved Contractor's Unique Qualifications: Benchmark Electronic Manufacturing Solutions (Formerly CTS corporation) has designed, developed and manufactured all existing FS3 Control Box Assemblies in existence.

d. Efforts to Qualify Additional Suppliers for future procurements: Presently since there is no data regarding the proprietary configuration of the electronics within the FS3 control box assembly (as noted in 2. a. above), and no effort to increase competition (as noted in 2. b. above) there is no technical basis available by which qualification of additional suppliers can be considered. Although this procurement will be restricted to the above source, every effort will be made to obtain potential sources by posting to the TACOM Procnet website, and by synopsis through FedBizOpps.
