AMSC Z. This part is a commercial/nondevelopmental/off-the-shelf item. Commercial item descriptions, commercial vendor catalog or price lists or commercial manuals assigned a technical manual number apply. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are available, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid (When one or a limited number of sources are available, then a J&A is required. When an item is coded with AMSC “Z” and is listed on an interchange catalog or appears on a commercial cross reference list, this constitutes full and open competition and a J&A is not necessary). Cornet Technology, Inc. DBA CTI is the only source that has been approved to manufacture this item because it is the only known source with the data or rights to the data necessary to manufacture this item. Alternate offers will be evaluated. The offeror must provide a complete data package including data for the approved and alternate part for evaluation.

A technical review was completed by the Product Specialists of Record dated March 25, 2020.

The subject NSN has been identified as sole/limited source item. No other sources or adequate technical data could be identified or located for competitive procurement.

The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate or legible data to purchase this part from other than current source(s). If new sources are approved prior to award, the solicitation will be reissued allowing for the new source(s) a chance to compete for this acquisition.
