(X ) AMC 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time

[ X ] AMSC C. This part 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(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain 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. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

The Product Specialist of record, confirmed on 8/10/2018 the AMC/AMSC code of 1/C and that a technical data package adequate for manufacture of the item have been exhausted, see Attachment #1. The two approved sources are the only known sources in possession of the full technical data to produce this item. The approved sources are uniquely qualified because they have the full data or data rights necessary to manufacture this item, which the government does not have.

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

(X) The acquisition will be synopsized on FEDBIZOPPS.

(X) Other (explain) A sources sought was posted on FEDBIZOPPS on 5/24/18 with a return response of 5/31/18. No responses were received as a result of the sources sought that was posted.

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

The basis for the Government's fair and reasonable price determination is anticipated manufacturer competition as well as to be PPI based price analysis and/or analysis of other than cost & pricing data such as informal cost break-downs and/or material invoices with final negotiated pricing reviewed in comparison with recent past buy history. Requirement is being solicited with a three year base period and two option years.
