Spares C1 J&A Revised OCT 2015

A formal acquisition plan is not required for this acquisition.

Future requirements will be synopsized and any interested vendors referred to the ISEA for review in accordance with the procedures identified in 209.270 Aviation and Ship Critical Safety Items.

An In-Service Engineering Activity (ISEA) technical review was conducted and a sources sought notice was published to identify all additional sources or interested vendors.

No other sources have expressed an interest in this acquisition

Friday, September 02, 2016

The USAF and FMS minimum needs can only be provided by CED because they are the only approved source that has demonstrated the unique design capability, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data required to manufacture these items. These parts are critical safety of flight components and require engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the integrity of the part and escape system. Therefore, this acquisition will be for continued production of highly specialized equipment.

CED provided top level drawings for cataloging purposes only; cataloging is for assigning a National Stock Number (NSN). The United States Government (USG) has limited data rights. CED informed the USAF it is not willing to sell the government purpose data rights. The Cartridge Actuated Device/Propellant Actuated Device Joint Program Office (CAD/PAD JPO) believes that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Air Force's requirement.

The government estimates that any reverse engineering efforts along with system level testing would cost the government $8M and would take approximately six years to complete. The USAF has limited service returns assets to provide interested potential second source suppliers for reverse engineering activities.

Delay in awarding this contract could put the USAF and FMS in a non-support status resulting in the use of items in Section III outside the service life which may cause catastrophic results tot the aircrew.

Accordingly, CED is the only firm capable of providing the items described in Section III above without the USAF and FMS experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements.

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.

AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer.
