Types of information requested:

Summary of information received:

I received information from Curtis Wright informing me that DLA must purchase requirement through Argo Turbo Service Corp – their authorized distributor. Argo Turbo Service confirmed they are interested in submitting a bid if a solicitation is posted on dibbs.gov

Information received regarding the commerciality of the item(s):

For the reasons stated below, the NSN covered by this initiative will be Non-Commercial based on the definition of a commercial item located at FAR 2.101 and will be procured under FAR Part 15. The following non-Commerciality determinations have been made. COTS field in the MM03 query in SAP does not indicate these are commercial Items.

Review of the Material Master database indicated that this NSN has limited sources. Review of the OEM’s website neither shows evidence that this item is available on the commercial market nor is it of a type customarily used by the general public or nongovernmental entities for purposes other than government or military purposes as defined in FAR 2.101. Market research via internet resources for commercial sale offerings yielded no results to show that this item has been offered for sale, lease or license to the general public as defined in FAR 2.101, “Commercial Product.”

Market research did not yield any readily available published catalog price lists, schedules or other form of commercial pricing that are regularly maintained and updated by a manufacturer or vendor that are available to the general public for inspection.

Additionally, there is no evidence of sale prices at which sales were made to a significant number of buyers constituting the general public. General public is interpreted as individuals using such parts in a manner other than a governmental or military capacity. Therefore, the Contracting Officer determines this item to be non-commercial, and the solicitation shall be issued pursuant to FAR Part 15 procedures.

9. Additional facts supporting other than full and open competition are:

[X] Based upon the attached technical certification, technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.
