CLINs 0001 and 0002 are repair and replacement parts that are incorporated into a military end item, and these are the only known repair/replacement parts that the Government can ensure will enable the military end item to function properly in accordance with military requirements. Additionally for CLIN 0002, the approved sources are the only manufacturing sources specified on the source control drawing.

a. CLINs 0001 and 0002: United Technologies Corporation (77445), New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc (15860), General Electric Company (99207), and Roller Bearing Company of America (73134) are the only known qualified sources that retain the data needed to acquire this part competitively. Therefore, the data is not physically available to the Government, 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.

b. Tech Certification: On February 26, 2020 the Quality Assurance Specialist, Erik Elmendorf, certified that the supporting data is complete and accurate, including the AMC/AMSC codes and list of approved sources.

The use of the authority cited below:

[X] AMC 1 – Applies to all CLINs. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

The use of the authority cited below 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.

[X] AMSC C – This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part form the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity’s procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity’s procedures, AMC 1 or 2 are valid.

CLIN 0001 is designated as a critical safety item. Accordingly, per DFARS 209.270, DLA is required to procure only from sources approved by the design control activity. Only the sources identified above have been approved to supply this CSI.

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

[X] Based upon the technical certification on file in DLA Land and Maritime –VEP, a complete TDP is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.

10. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is: (If none, so state) New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc. (15860), a large business and approved manufacturer is the only source that indicated interest in submitting a quote for this acquisition.

11. The following actions are being taken to identify additional sources before any subsequent acquisitions are made: (If none, so state and explain why not.)

[X] Solicitation contains DLA Procurement Note, L04 Offers for Part Numbered Items [X] Solicitation contains DLA Procurement Note, M06 Evaluation of Offers for Part Numbered Items [X] The Government will continue to conduct market research to ascertain if changes occur in the marketplace that would enable future actions for this item to be competitive.

I hereby certify that the information contained in this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. The estimated total value of the J&A is $3,429,326.62.
