5. If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code: The Government is restricting procurement to one (1) approved source (97415) Triumph Actuation Systems.

This item is a Critical Safety Item. In accordance with DFARS 209.270-3, DLA must procure from NAVAIR

(design control activity) approved sources for ALRE Critical Safety Items. In addition, NAVAIR INST

(a) Public Law 108 136, Sec. 802, Quality Control in Procurement of Aviation Critical Safety Items and Related Services and (g) SECNAVINST 4140.2. Triumph Actuation Systems is the only source approved by NAVAIR for this CSI item and, per DFARS 209.270-3, DLA must only procure Triumph Actuation Systems’ part numbered item.

The use of the authority cited below:

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

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.

Item is made to NAVAIR drawings and available for download, however, NSN is coded 3 C due to source approval by NAVAIR and NAVSUP. This is a flight safety item/critical safety item with a special procedures code of (01). The cage cited in paragraph 5 has the appropriate manufacturing expertise and quality capabilities to supply this NSN. The acquisition of only the currently approved source’s part numbered item is required to maintain the quality of the part.

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

[ X ] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about January 6, 2020 for 15 days.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. DLA has procurement history in which prior prices were determined to be fair and reasonable. Price analysis will be conducted using historical pricing. Other Than Cost and Pricing Data may be obtained to support a fair and reasonable price.
