5. If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code: CRYSTALS US BUYER, LLC

The use of the authority cited below:

[X] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual 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.

On 10/20/2023 the buyer received confirmation from the product specialist that the AMC/AMSC of 3/B is accurate. The approved source is CRYSTALS US BUYER, LLC 2P517 P/N SA-25543. Per the Product Specialist, this is the only known source that possesses the technical data for the manufacturing of this item, thus, demonstrating that CRYSTALS US BUYER, LLC 2P517 has the unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge for this NSN. The Engineering Support Activity (ESA) has declared CRYSTALS US BUYER, LLC 2P517 P/N SA-25543 is the only acceptable part. Any other commercial, or non-commercial, offerings would be required to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) to the ESA for approval. Product Specialist certified the above information is correct as of 10/20/2023 (See Attachment 1).
