The use of the authority cited below:

[X] AMC 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[X] AMSC C. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

On 9/21/2022 the Product Specialist confirmed that the AMC/AMSC of 1/C is accurate. There are two approved sources: Natel Engineering Company, LLC (09059) P/N 11475091-1 and Raytheon Company (54X10) P/N 11475091-1. Per the Product Specialist, these are the only known sources that possesses the technical data for the manufacturing of this item, thus, demonstrating that Natel Engineering Company, LLC (09059) and Raytheon Company (54X10) have the unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge for this NSN. There are no other sources.

On 9/21/2022 the Product Specialist certified the information in the returned technical referral was correct by returning the signed MFR - Technical Data Supporting- Limited Sources memo. (Attachment 1)

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

A Sources Sought was posted to SAM.gov on 9/21/2022 with a response date of 9/29/2022.
