Information received regarding the commerciality of the item(s): The items are not commercial.

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

The NSN included on this solicitation was reviewed by the Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD) Product Specialist during the project development phase. No additional sources were identified during that review.

Based upon the technical certification on file in DLA Land and Maritime-VEP 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. Records Management was searched for the previous Justification for other than full and open competition for these NSNs, on contract SPE7MX-12-D-0057 none was found.

Forecast information is available to all potential sources for both sole source and competitive items. 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 item 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.
