5. If restricted to only certain source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code:

The use of the authority cited in other than 10. U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) above:

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

The use of the authority cited is based on:

AMSC D: The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

Product Specialist, , confirmed the following on 07/29/2019:

This item is an AMC/AMSC of 3/D. The approved source(s) are the only source(s) capable of making this item.

The Government DOES NOT HAVE the drawings; the approved source(s) are the only source(s) known to possess the required drawings. There ARE NOT currently 339’s out to the ESA. This item supports the (2IA) GUN AUTOMATIC, 30 MM, and IS a critical application item.

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

The acquisition will be synopsized for 15 days prior to the solicitation opening. At the completion of the synopsis period, the Purchase Request (PR) will be solicited on the internet for 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

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

A price analysis will be conducted using historical pricing, the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. Cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4 will be requested if the offeror’s proposal exceeds the $2M threshold for obtaining cost data, however, it is anticipated that this procurement will not exceed that threshold. Offerors may be requested to submit information other than cost or pricing data for determining price reasonableness. Based on the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates that the cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Market research consisted of review of past procurements, market surveys received from interested parties, and internet sources.

Procurement history:

Nearly all previous procurements have been provided from one of the approved sources, Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC (1YQE8), mostly using their alternate CAGE (1PYT8). The last procurement was provided in a quantity of 1 each through a small surplus dealer and is unlikely to reflect current pricing or market conditions for this materiel.

A sources sought notice was posted on FedBizOpps from 07/29/2019 to 08/05/2019. No responses were received.
