5. DEMONSTRATION OF CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS: The current

Acquisition Method Code (AMC/AMCS) is 3R This acquisition will be negotiate.d with: (074Vl)RFD BEAUFORT INC

The articles to be acquired are highly specialized parts, designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity and the technical data required for the above acquisition by other than the above is not available. RFD Beaufort is the only schedule holder with a 50-person life raft that uses a breathable air inflation system as opposed to the more common Carbon Dioxide inflation system used by all other 50-person life raft manufacturers of USCG/IMO/SOLAS approved open-ocean rafts.

Breathable air is required to ensure full inflation within 30 seconds in an Arctic environment.

6. DETERMINATION OF BEST VALUE: The contracting officer determines that this procurement will be the best value alternative to the Government. GSA has already determined the prices of supplies under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable.

Discounts from the published pricing will be sought for any requirement that exceeds the maximum order threshold. In addition, an analysis of pricing information will be performed which will consider commerciality, procurement history, GSA schedules, and other available pricing information in determining price reasonableness and best value.

7. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET SURVEY: A technical review has been made to determine and identify all known sources. A review of GSA schedule 84, SIN 260-03, Boats, Inflatable, power and Nonpower (Includes Life Rafts, Options and Accessories) revealed that there were seven contracts with life rafts listed on the GSA Schedule.

A review of the items on the contract by these seven contractors revealed only one company with an item that would satisfy all of the Navy's minimum needs.

8. ANY OTHER SUPPORTING FACTS: None.
