1. The Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Land and Maritime, is the contracting activity.

2. The action being approved is the acquisition of supplies on other than a full and open competition basis.

3. The supplies required to meet the using activity's needs are described as follows:

The subject solicitation is for a Single-NSN 5-year IDC project for DLA Land & Maritime CORE/Super KID NSN 2530-01-554-8288 (PARTS KIT, BALL JOINT) with an ADQ of 18,504.

ICP: DLA Land & Maritime

ESTIMATED ADV:

ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE (3-Year+ 2 Options):

MAXIMUM CONTRACT VALUE:

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

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

5. If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code:

AM GENERAL (34623)

The use of the authority cited is based on:

NSN: 2530-01-554-8288 is assigned AMC 3 which indicated that it is to be acquired, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer and its AMSC of B indicates that 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. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

The Government has reserved the right to approve sources and only AM General (34623) has been approved. In addition, per the approved manufacturer parts list for this NSN in SAP (as received from the Defense Logistics Information Service), only AM General has been identified as having the proper complete technical data and manufacturing expertise to supply the items to DLA and the using military services. DLA Land and Maritime SAPD Product Specialist reviewed and confirmed the accuracy of the PID, AMC/AMSC, approved sources, and associated NSN data prior to solicitation. No additional sources were identified at that time and the NSN was determined suitable for an LTC at that time.

On 4/11/2018 the Acquisition Specialist verified the Tech data which revealed that Federal Mogul (63477) was removed as an approved source from the source control drawing by DLA Land & Maritime Product Specialist on 4/4/2018. Therefore, competition must be limited to offers of the product of AM General as follows:
