On September 20, 2018 Product Specialist reviewed the NSN on this Solicitation and provided the following information.

NSN 2530-01-363-8150: AMC/AMSC was 3R updated to 1R because the NSN has multiple sources. The PIC/QCC of 2 EAA is correct; E = Limited Higher ISO (not full blown ISO-2001).

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[ X ] AMC 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[ X ] AMSC R. The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs I or 2 are valid.

The sources listed above are the only approved sources. They are the only known sources to own or possess the technical data necessary to manufacture this item. Therefore, this acquisition will be solicited with Other than Full and Open Competition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302.

6. Efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable are:

[ X ] The acquisition will be synopsized prior to solicitation issuance.

[ X ] Dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

(FEB 2017)

This item has an AMC/AMSC code of 1/R, which is explained in the above paragraph #5.

There is not a reasonable expectation that two or more small business concerns, competing independently will submit priced offers in response to the solicitation. A price analysis will be conducted using historical government pricing, the Producer Price Index (PPI) and learning curve analysis. By using these techniques the Contracting Officer anticipates that the costs to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. A search of the Industrial Base Management System, Surge (IBMS) was completed on 10/01/18 indicating that NSN 2530-01-363-8150 is designated as a “non-surge” item.
