CAGE COMPANY NAME

55752 PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

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

[ X ] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

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 12/10/2025, the Product Specialist from SAPD, , certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certification is attached.

6. The following efforts are being taken to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable:

[ X ] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 3/5/2026 for a period of 15 days.

See Attachment 2 - Market Research Commerciality Determination Memo (MRCDM) for greater details of market research.

Procurement History:

[ X ] A review of procurement history for potential manufacturing sources other than those listed above Section 5 above yielded the following results (If none, so state): None as all historical awardees were included in the market research survey.

The last two procurements were delivery orders made against Auto Indefinite Delivery Contract (AIDC) SPE7L325D61LR, awarded to Direct Line, which will expire on 5/8/2026. There were 14 procurements prior to the award of the AIDC, dating back to 8/24/2021, all of which were purchase orders made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. There were three awardees who received these purchase orders that included Direct Line, Neal Supply and Rental and Fleet Supply Warehouse LLC. All three of these vendors were contacted with the market research survey along with other vendors who provided quotes for recent procurements. See Attachment 3 – Procurement History for a detailed list.

General Internet Search:

[ X ] A general internet search for potential manufacturing sources other than those listed above Section 5 above yielded the following results (If none, so state): None. The source approval authority has determined Parker-Hannifin to be the only approved source for this item who has the existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge necessary to maintain the quality of the part. There is a robust commercial market for similar fluid filters used in diesel vehicles owned by private individuals as well as commercial and agricultural vehicles/applications. It is anticipated that the relatively low cost of this item (roughly each) will likely prevent other manufacturers from exhausting resources to become an approved source as the definition of AMSC “C” states above under section 5.
