Spencer Industries, Inc. (21530) SPN00464

The use of the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is based on:

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

The following AMSC descriptions are available in DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2.

[ 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.

On 4 March 2025 the Product Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certificate is attached. On 2 April 2025 the Product Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes after the Product Specialist removed Charleston Marine Containers Inc. (09PD1) as a source on 19 March 2025.
