SOLICITATION SPE7MX-23-R-X016

Source Selection Information – See FAR Part 2.101 and 3.104.

P a g e | 2

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.

[X] Other: (Explain) The Government has reserved the right to approve sources and only CAGE 9R200 has been approved. In addition, per the approved manufacturer part list for this NSN in SAP (as received from the Defense Logistics Information Service), only CAGE 9R200 has been identified as having the proper complete technical data and manufacturing expertise to supply this item to DLA and the using military services. Therefore, competition must be limited to offers of the product of CAGE 9R200. The most recent technical review in support of a potential LTC was performed on 10/19/2022.

The NSN was determined to be suitable for an LTC at that time and the technical certificate dated 10/19/2022 is attached to this justification.

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 01/11/2023.

[X] The solicitation will be posted to DLA DIBBS on or about its issuance date of 01/26/2023 and will be posted for 30 days.

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

This will be a three-year, firm fixed price, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity type contract. The three-year period is inclusive of one (1) one-year base period, and two (2) separately priced one-year option periods. As such, the price analysis for future years will be based on the Global Insights Producer Price Index (PPI) forecasts. The Global Insights PPI forecast provides timely, accurate price and cost analysis, and historical records for thousands of commodity prices and wages around the globe, allowing procurement professionals to understand supplier cost structure and better negotiate supplier quotes. Based on the results of market research, the buyer does not anticipate receiving more than one offer, and adequate price competition is not expected to exist at time of evaluation of proposals. This is a commercial item as determined in paragraph 8 below. Therefore, in accordance with FAR Part 15.403- 1(b)(3), it is prohibited to request certified cost/price data. Other than cost or pricing data will be used to determine a fair and reasonable price. This data may include the commercial market value of similar items and their difference to the government required configuration. It may also include price analysis, negotiation procedures, traceability, and the use of resources available through the DLA Land and Maritime Pricing Office.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

DLA Land and Maritime conducted various forms of market research including the publishing of a formal Sources Sought notice and market survey to www.sam.gov. In addition to the publishing of a Sources Sought notice, the Sourcing Strategy team’s Contract Specialist also researched the
