Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104

5. The Government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end items or weapon systems. The acquisition is restricted to the following source(s) of supply, which are the only source(s) known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies and the only source(s) currently approved by the design control activity.

CLIN NSN COMPANY NAME CAGE

0001 5915014683475 RS MICROWAVE CO INC 61453

The use of the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is based on:

[X] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

The following AMSC descriptions are available in DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2.

[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.

[X] AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

Companies listed at table in paragraph 5 are the only approved manufacturing sources by the design control activity. This manufacturer retains data rights, 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. Although DLA does not possess adequate data, lacks rights to data, and/or has no record of an alternate Design Control Activity approved source. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. Also, it was indicated that there is no outstanding DLA Form 339 request for additional sources.

On 3/4/2025, the Product Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certificate is attached.

6. The following efforts are being taken to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable:

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about _7/1/2025_ for a period of _15___ days.

[X] The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of __30__ days.

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

A price analysis will be conducted based on a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation and/or a comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid. Certified cost or pricing data, when required by FAR 15.403-4, and

FAR 6.302-1 (ONE OR LIMITED NUMBER OF RESPONSIBLE SOURCES)
