DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (March 2023)

[ X ] ORIGINAL

[ ] ADDENDUM (attach copy of original J&A for add-ons or revisions)

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:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION NSN/P/N QUANTITY EST. VALUE AMSC

Diamond ASICs 5962-01-688-3714 ~7,700 $ 5/C

Prior purchase of this NSN occurred in 2021 as an End of Life (EOL) buy in response to the manufacturing source (Global Foundries), announcing a discontinuation of the product line. This current purchase, known as the “secondary buy” is required based on 1) an increase in forecasted demands for this NSN and 2) an anticipated increase in the timeline to implement the successor items for this terminal NSN. Furthermore, Global Foundries has additional raw materials from the initial buy and is making them available for the secondary buy on a limited time basis. Threat of destruction/disposal of the available material from Global Foundries is creating urgency to complete the “secondary buy” as soon as possible. When solicited in OCT 2023, destruction of the materials was scheduled for JAN 2024. Because of the ongoing procurement process, sole source Raytheon was able to continue extending the life of the raw materials.

4. Identify end item, weapon system, or class of item:

The MGUE Increment 1 ASIC (USAF)/Space Force, and United States Navy (USN)/ United States Marine Corps (USMC) Acquisition Category (ACAT) ID program, with the USAF as the lead service and DoD Executive Agent for GPS. Three MGUE Increment 1 Technology Development contracts were awarded on September 28, 2012, to L3Harris (then Interstate

Collins Aerospace (then Rockwe

Government Solutions/Global Foundries (hereon referred to as Global Foundries) as a supplier of the raw wafer

The MGUE Inc 1 DIAMOND ASICs Precision Guided Munitions. The primary user is the USAF. However, across all DoD services, the using programs include, but are not limited to: Tactical Tomahawk, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), SDB I, StormBreaker

Standard Munitions, Satellite Launch Control System, Paveway 4 Guided Bomb, Combat Survival and Evader Locator (CSEL), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Predator, Global Hawk, Raven, adiation Missile (HARM) targeting system, Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPAS), Joint Standoff Weapons System (JSOW) Smart Missile, and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS).

ESTIMATED BASE VALUE : Note this base value is a price ceiling and the quantity solicited was approximate. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) identified this sum of FY22 PDW funds (3 year appropriation) that has been purposed for ASIC Bulk Buy funds (see Action Memo dated 08 AUG 2023 from

OSD).

Instruction from OSD to DLA is “Request Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procure additional DIAMOND Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) with the remaining ASIC Bulk Buy funds”

ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE (BASE + OPTIONS): $

MAXIMUM CONTRACT VALUE: $

FOR ADD-ONS, PROVIDE VALUE OF OPTION YRS REMAINING: NA

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

[ ] 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

[X] 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) - Urgency.

Brief narrative supporting the situation and weapon system:

At direction of OSD (see Action Memo date 08 AUG 2023, attached), in support of the weapon systems identified in part 4 here, DLA is to “expedite procurement of the DIAMOND ASICs…to hedge against potential additional slip of delivery of the follow-on Inc 2 ASIC and address emerging and growing demand for this capability.” Urgency stems from the ongoing threat of disposal of materials from the foundry.

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

Raytheon Technologies, CAGE 4U884

7. The use of the authority cited below:

X AMC 5. Acquire directly from the sole source contractor, who is not the manufacturer.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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.
