WHO is the only source?

T7. United Technologies Corporation, Pratt & Whitney, Military Engines is the only source that can provide the above supplies or services and no other supplies or services will satisfy the program’s requirements.

WHY is the source above the only one that can fulfill the requirement?

In accordance with Title 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) as cited in FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”

T8. Only the specified source can provide the above described supplies or services due to: (Select from the following).

(Check all that are applicable and use as much detail as necessary)

FORMCHECKBOX

Insufficient Technical Data and / or Rights: The Government does not possess adequate data and / or the rights necessary to competitively award this requirement.

· Explain why the technical data is necessary for this acquisition:

The studies will explore complex technical propulsion system design and aircraft integration issues and access to F135 technical data is required to perform the anticipated studies.

· Does the Government possess all the technical data required to competitively award this requirement?

FORMCHECKBOX

Yes

· If Yes, explain why the Government does not possess sufficient data rights to competitively award this requirement:

· Could the necessary rights to the data be purchased?

FORMCHECKBOX

Yes, the necessary rights could be purchased for an estimated This amount was determined by This amount is economically unfeasible due to

FORMCHECKBOX

No, explain:

FORMCHECKBOX

No

· If No, explain why the Government does not possess sufficient technical data to competitively award this requirement.

The Government did not procure the technical data, which is substantially proprietary to P&W and its subcontractors, redacted.

· If No, could the necessary technical data and rights be purchased?

FORMCHECKBOX

Yes, the necessary data and rights could be purchased for

This amount was determined by This amount is economically unfeasible due to

FORMCHECKBOX

No, explain: Access to technical data is required to perform engineering work and studies for the F135 propulsion system, but is not the basis for the contractor's unique capabilities. The contractor is the sole source for the F135 propulsion system, possessing the unique expertise and experience to perform this requirement, that would not be mitigated by purchasing the data.

FORMCHECKBOX

Special Tooling: Only the referenced source has access to special tooling which is necessary to fulfill this requirement.

· Explain why the special tooling is necessary for this acquisition:

· Could the necessary special tooling be purchased?

FORMCHECKBOX

Yes, the necessary tooling could be purchased for an estimated

This amount was determined by This amount is economically unfeasible due to

FORMCHECKBOX

No, explain:

FORMCHECKBOX

Substantial Duplication of Cost (for follow-on actions only): The above source is deemed to be the only source available because an award to a source other than the original provider would result in a substantial duplication of cost which would not be recovered through competition.

· An estimated $ worth of work would be duplicated.

· Explain in detail how this amount was determined.

FORMCHECKBOX

Unacceptable delay of work (for follow-on actions only): The above source is deemed to be the only source available because an award to a source other than the original provider would result in an unacceptable delay in fulfilling the Government’s requirements.

· Going to another source would create a delay of

· Explain in detail how this delay estimate was determined.

· Explain in detail how the Government would be unable to meet its requirements by this delay.

· Describe the specified source’s ability to provide the needed supplies / services within the necessary timeframe.

FORMCHECKBOX

Other:

· Specify why only the stated source can provide the above supplies or services.

P&W is the sole designer of the F135 propulsion system. They are the only source with the requisite knowledge and capabilities to satisfactorily conduct JSF F135 Propulsion System engineering and logistics studies, and Air System / F135 Propulsion System integration studies. This contractor alone has the JSF F135 Propulsion System-peculiar engineering data, capability, resources, and expertise. No other source has, or can obtain, the necessary expertise and experience to perform the engineering and logistics studies effort. Given P&W’s involvement with the design, development, qualification, manufacturing, integration, and continuing improvements of the F135 propulsion system, the company has the required understanding of the original design and integration intent, original engineering drawings, and the most recent design/integration changes to the F135 propulsion system readily available to them, which are necessary to ensure compatability and avoid undesirable interactions between existing and redesigned hardware. In addition, P&W has immediate access to the necessary special tooling, special test equipment, and testing facilities (full-scale models, simulation, and bench type laboratories) necessary to prototype and test proposed engineering solutions. P&W is uniquely qualified as the only known firm that possesses the technical data, drawings, specifications, tooling, test equipment and test facilities necessary to fulfill the Government’s full range of engineering and logistics requirements and support the F-35 program.

T10. Market Research and / or Survey: (Required Pre-Solicitation notices do NOT satisfy this requirement)

Performed

· Describe the research and / or survey that was conducted:

FORMCHECKBOX

Not Performed

· No market research or survey was conducted due to:

In accordance with FAR 5.201, the IDIQ contract was synopsized in the FEDBIZOPS website on 9 April 2010. No responses have been received to date. Only P&W has expressed an interest in this requirement. No additional market research was conducted, because it is not practicable, for the reasons discussed in above, for any company other than P&W to provide the required efforts. Any responses will be evaluated, but to date, no responses have been received. Additionally, any interested parties will be referred to the P&W Subcontracting Manager for possible subcontracting opportunities.

T11. Follow-on Contract Information: (Required for all actions) Will this requirement be acquired again?

FORMCHECKBOX

Yes

· If Yes, what is being done to remove barriers to competition?

FORMCHECKBOX

Nothing, explain: For the reasons set forth above, the JSF Program Office has no plans at this time to compete future requirements for the types of technical support covered by this CJ&A. The scope of this effort stems directly from P&W’s unique capabilities pertaining to the JSF F135 propulsion system and limited competition of this nature is anticipated so long as the JSF continues to utilize that system.
