The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase / contract repair of this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

This acquisition will be solicited to

Northrup Grumman Systems Corporation (03956) The articles to be acquired are highly specialized parts, designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity. The Government does not possess the technical data required to obtain this material from other than the listed source. The item being procured must be a form, fit and function replacement for the system currently installed on board the ship in order for it to function properly. The Government does not possess sufficient technical data on this item to enable procurement from other than the listed source.

15 MAR 2019 Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice applies to this requirement

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 05/05/2022 and as a result

Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not conducted) are as follows

A technical review, which consisted of searching several government databases including ITIMP, FLIS and ERP, has been completed on this item. Search criteria included Part Number, Design Control Activity, Cage Code, NSN, Nomenclature, AMC/AMSC, AAC, Criticality Coding, recorded approved sources of supply, historical sources of supply and past contracts. Based on this market research the contracting officer has determined that the only known manufacturing source is Northrup Grumman Systems Corporation (03956).

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

To promote competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture the subject item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval by the appropriate engineering source approval authority per the (WSS) guidelines. For reasons set forth in Paragraph (5 & 6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item covered by this document. If another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. Future requirements will be advertised at the government-wide point of entry.
