Contractor(s) Name: Parker Hannifin 5520 North, Highway 169 New Hope, MN, 55428 Cage Code: 05448

Part Numbers: 631370

2. Reasons the item is not suitable for full and open competition:

a. Status of the Acquisition Data:

USG does not own the TDP for the Power Supply, Hydro Electric. Parker Hannifin is unwilling to sell the TDP. The item described above is an item used in support of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Parker Hannifin is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Power Supply, Hydro Electric used in the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

Parker Hannifin is the approved manufacturing source for the Power Supply, Hydro Electric. The Government did not fund Parker Hannifin in the development or testing of the Power Supply, Hydro Electric currently installed on the Bradley FOVs. The Government did not fund or own any data, the technical data package (TDP), or patent rights for the Parker Hannifin Power Supply, Hydro Electric. Therefore, the Government does not have the patent rights to their data that would be required to produce a competitive TDP. Parker Hannifin is the sole owner of the technical data rights for the Power Supply, Hydro Electric.

b. Efforts to Increase Competition or Qualify a New Source in Relation to this Procurement:

There are currently no plans to acquire a competitive TDP due to lack of funds that would be needed to acquire the data in order to support a competitive acquisition. In addition, it is unlikely costs could be recovered through subsequent competition due to the low ordering quantity requirement for this item. The Government does not possess the TDP for the Power Supply, Hydro Electric. Through our previous experience, we estimate that the costs to develop a competitive procurement package for the Power Supply, Hydro Electric are as follows:

Estimated cost to reverse engineer: $400,000 Estimated time to reverse engineer: 12 months

Estimated cost for prototype parts (4x $25,000): $100,000 Estimated time for prototype parts: 6 months

Estimated cost for vehicle level vibration testing: $1,400,000 Estimated time for vehicle level vibration testing: 8 months

Estimated cost for additional qualification testing: $800,000 Estimated time for additional qualification testing: 6 months

Note: These costs and timing listed in the above paragraphs are engineering estimates based upon information available and are not designed to be an exact reflection of the total actual costs or timing associated with these activities.

c. Demonstration of Approved Contractor's Unique Qualifications:

The Power Supply, Hydro Electric manufactured by Parker Hannifin has the proper form, fit, and function needed for the Bradley FOVs. Parker Hannifin has demonstrated the unique and proven manufacturing capabilities to maintain the processing control required to repetitively produce the Power Supply, Hydro Electric.

They also did the tests to qualify their product. If another possible source of supply for this item were identified, qualification testing would be required to prove out the item.

d. Efforts to Qualify Additional Suppliers for future procurements:

As addressed above Parker Hannifin. owns all technical data rights for this component and is unwilling to sell the technical data to the Government. Reverse Engineering is therefore the only recourse.

No efforts to obtain competition for this acquisition will be taken for the reasons stated above. Complete Level III TDPs, suitable for competition, are not available for purchase. Further, there is no funding to qualify Power Supply, Hydro Electric manufacturers or service providers for this effort.

There are no vendors currently in the process of being qualified at this time.

There are no current or planned efforts to qualify any additional sources for the reasons listed above, including the fact that there is no funding for this effort. The Government would not be able to conduct reverse engineering efforts at this time. The Government would not be able to recover, through subsequent competition, the additional costs involved in either procuring the proprietary data or reverse engineering the item to create a competitive package. Although this procurement will be restricted to the above source, every effort will be made to obtain potential sources by posting to the TACOM Procnet website, and by synopsis through FedBizOpps. Interested sources can obtain approval via the Source Approval Program with the TACOM Competition Management Office (CMO).

e. Market Research:

PART VI - Approval Authority for Acquisitions Equal to or Greater Than $700,000.

APPROVAL OF JUSTIFICATION

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

Based on the foregoing Justification, I hereby approve the procurement of the following:

a. Noun: Power Supply, Hydro Electric

b. NSN: 4330011346531

c. BASIC QUANTITY: 612 Each

OPTION QUANITY: 612 Each TOTAL QUANTITY: 1224 Each

d. ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE:

e. AMC/AMSC: 3B - Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer. 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.

Previous J&A

This action will be awarded under other than full and open competition pursuant to the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and subject to the availability of funds. This approval is subject to the proviso that the property herein described has otherwise been authorized for acquisition.
