The companies listed above are the only uniquely qualified sources of supply that own the technical rights for the NSNs/items. In order for competition to be present, the services (i.e., Army, Navy, etc.) would need to buy the technical rights from the companies, who are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), then re-code all the items so that other companies could offer proposals. The AMC/AMSC codes and approved sources were verified by the PS on November 8, 2018.
