The use of the authority cited is based on:

The NSNs 6110-01-552-4505 and 6110-01-592-8676 are available only from the coded sources indicated in the chart above as the Government does not possess the necessary technical data, production knowledge, and legal rights to the data to facilitate full and open competition to produce the required NSNs.

The Government’s lack of data and/or data rights serves as these source’s unique qualification requiring the use of other than full and open competition because these sources are the only sources that possess the data or data rights to produce these ESA approved items.

The data found in item #3 above notates an AMSC code for the NSNs detailing the level of information the Government does possess. DLA Land and Maritime SAPD Product Specialist Danny Carroll reviewed and confirmed the accuracy of the PID, AMC/AMSC, approved sources, and associated NSN data prior to solicitation. The approved source information for this NSN is as follows:

Project NSN 6110-01-552-4505 has an AMC/AMSC of 1/R which indicated that it requires that the technical data or the rights to use the data in order to purchase the item from additional sources are not owned by the Government and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase the rights.

Project NSN 6110-01-592-8676 has an AMC/AMSC of 1/C which indicates that it 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 require acquisition of the part from the approved source.

The approved sources shown in the chart above retain the 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. Only these approved sources possess the rights to the technical data/drawings and/or the data itself necessary to produce the required items.
