SOLICITATION SPE7LX-21-R-0048

SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION – SEE FAR 2.101 AND 3.104

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

4. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is:

10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

o The property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or only from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency.

The subject items are restricted to the source referenced above. The government does not possess technical data sufficient to allow for full and open competition. It is essential that the Government obtain these parts only from PowerTrain Rockford Incorporated because it is essential that the Government only obtain parts that have been tested and verified to be used in specific higher-level assemblies. To ensure operability in accordance with military requirements of the stated higher assemblies, the spare/replacement parts there must be the same form, fit, and function as the parts currently used in these higher assemblies.

At this time, the approved part numbers from PowerTrain Rockford Incorporated are the only parts known to have the form, fit, and function to be interchangeable with those currently supporting the subject army vehicles and naval carriers. The AMC/AMSC coding and approved sources were verified with DLA Land and Maritime Product Specialist, on September 8, 2020.

The following are the AMC/AMSC descriptions.

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

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.

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 from 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.

AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, 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.

included in the solicitation.

(X) The solicitation will be posted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS} for 30 days.

The solicitation will include the following evaluation factors: (1) price, (2) past performance, (3) delivery schedule, (4) surge and sustainment, and (5) Small Business Participation.

The Government will continue to conduct market research to see if changes occur in the marketplace that would enable future actions for these items to be competitive. This item is subject to the following methods of locating additional sources. The DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application (SRVA) is a database that is available via the DLA internet Bid Board System (DIBBS.) SRVA provides potential sources the opportunity to search for information on DLA’s anticipated requirements based on updated monthly forecasts. Essentially, it provides 24 months of sole source and competitive projected purchase order quantities. Potential alternate sources for current sole source items can easily see DLA’s forecasted procurements and can contact the Value Management Unit to become approved sources for sole source and code and part number items. The DLA Land & Maritime Value Management Unit continually seeks out sole source, limited competition, over-priced, low reliability and hard to buy items to improve their value and support posture. The DLA Land & Maritime internet website contains information for all potential sources on how to challenge prices, how to submit a Value Engineering Change proposal, a link to DoD’s Value Engineering program and the necessary contact info for both the DLA Value Engineering program and the DoD Value Engineering program.
