The use of the authority cited is based on:

(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 B. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

A request sent to LOGCOM on 13 April 2020 to request that SYSCOM review the AMSC code assignment. In an effort not to delay the procurement, actions are moving forward. If SYSCOM makes a change to the ASMC code assignment, then an addendum will be written to this document but otherwise, it is assumed that the AMSC code assignment will remain unchanged. In an effort to ensure that validation of the AMSC code assignment and sources were reviewed, WebFLIS was researched to confirm that the only source listed for this item is Shockride, LLC DBA ArmorWorks.

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about March 26, 2020.

Based on the technical certification that as provided by LOGCOM (Logistics Command) (see Attachment 1), SYSCOM (System Command) does not own the drawings for this Seat, Vehicular to allow for full and open competition to exist. The item needs to be procured from the sole source manufacturer, based on the tech data.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The current requirement is sole source to Shockride, LLC DBA ArmorWorks. The solicitation will be solicited for 30 days. The requirement is for a quantity of (24) EA for NSN 2540-01-662-7858 for part number 105-213000-001 for a total estimate of $463,584.48 ($19,316.02 each).

In addition, the buyer will request an informal cost breakdown from offers’ to assist in deeming the price fair and reasonable, per FAR 15.403-3 - Requiring data other than certified cost or pricing data. Contracting Specialist searched Haystack for similar item for analysis with no success. Shockride, LLC DBA ArmorWorks will be asked to provide a similar item to assist in developing the targets/deeming the price fair and reasonable.
