only from Eldec Corporation or The Boeing Company because it is essential that the Government only obtain parts that have been tested and verified to be used in specific higher level assemblies. To insure operability in accordance with military requirements of the stated higher assemblies, the spare/replacement parts there must be the same form, fit, and function as the parts currently used in these higher assemblies.

Although the items have been determined commercial, the government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those current supporting the end items, aircraft. At this time, the approved part numbers from Eldec Corporation and The Boeing Company are the only parts known to have the form, fit, and function to be interchangeable with those currently supporting the subject aircraft.

Therefore, it is essential the government obtain the approved code and part number items rather than a similar commercial item. The AMC/AMSC coding and approved sources were verified with DLA Land and Maritime Product Specialist, , on April 10, 2020.

The following are the AMC/AMSC descriptions.

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

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.

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.

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

A Sources Sought notice, with a copy of the market survey attached, was posted on Beta Sam website, https://beta.sam.gov/. The notice was open from May 8, 2020 through May 14, 2020.

This acquisition will be solicited using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 and 13.5 procedures.

Posting of the synopsis to the Beta Sam website, https://beta.sam.gov/, will occur on or about 9/11/2020.

sources the opportunity to search for information on DLA’s anticipated requirements based on updated monthly forecasts. Essentially, it provides 24 months of sole source and competitive projected purchase order quantities. Potential alternate sources for current sole source items can easily see DLA’s forecasted procurements and can contact the Value Management Unit to become approved sources for sole source and code and part number items. The DLA Land & Maritime Value Management Unit continually seeks out sole source, limited competition, over-priced, low reliability and hard to buy items to improve their value and support posture. The DLA Land & Maritime internet website contains information for all potential sources on how to challenge prices, how to submit a Value Engineering Change proposal, a link to DoD’s Value Engineering program and the necessary contact info for both the DLA Value Engineering program and the DoD Value Engineering program.
