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 telecom on 26 January 2018 with the Product Specialist, this is a source control item and verified via 339. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on the applicable source control drawing. Per source controlled drawing (55820) 116231 provided by the ESA, this item has been restricted to Tactair Fluid Controls. All other sources are required to provide a Source Approval Request (SAR) per DLA policy. The Government does not have suitable technical data for this item and cannot obtain the technical data. At this time, Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. is the only source to have gone through the source approval process and is the only source known to possess the complete technical data package needed to manufacture this item.
