This NSN 5330013526627 has 13 prior procurements awarded to approved source and Large Business Manufacturer Jet Avion Corporation (14236). This is a commercial Item, but Jet Avion (14236) has been the only approved manufacturer to directly quote since 2009, and does not use dealers for this NSN. Large Manufacturers GE Corp (07482) and CFM (58828), are approved sources but no longer recognize the part number. Thus, there is no reasonable expectation that offers will be obtained from at least 2 responsible SB concerns that are competitive in terms of market price, quality & delivery.

The use of the authority cited below:

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The basis for the Government’s fair and reasonable price determination is anticipated to be price analysis and comparison to pricing found in the commercial marketplace and previous commercial procurements. Based on the results of market research, there is only one approved source manufacturer that is currently interested in providing a quote. The buyer will request assistance from the DLA BP Pricing Office for further assistance if pricing cannot be determined fair and reasonable and pricing information will be submitted to the pricing office also for review before award. Further, the contract length will be 3 base years with 2 option years based on the information obtained during market research.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Describe the market research conducted and the results.

Other market research efforts include: A review of the purchase history, coordination with the DLA Land and Maritime Small Business Office, and a review of the project data by DLA Land and Maritime-ZCB.
