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

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

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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.

Per email dated 08 September 2017 and telecom with Product Specialist on 12 September 2017, this is a source control item as required by the ESA and verified via 339. 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. ESA approval is required to add/delete sources. At this time, AM General LLC (34623) and Federal Mogul Corp (63477) are the only approved sources. Per source controlled drawing this item has been restricted to approved sources of supply only. All other sources are required to provide a Source Approval Request (SAR) per DLA policy. The Government does not have the technical data for this item and cannot obtain the technical data economically.

6. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based on the following: The solicitation is being issued as a non-commercial firm fixed price for a quantity of 6,500 kits.
