The use of the authority cited is based on 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2):

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

[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 4/25/16, the buyer received confirmation from the product specialist of record that the AMC/AMSC of 3/C is accurate. There is one approved source listed for this NSN; GE Aviation (07639). Per the product specialist, GE Aviation is uniquely qualified as they are the only known source that possesses the necessary technical data for the manufacturing of this item, thus, demonstrating unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge for this NSN. There are no other sources.

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about June 2016 and will be solicited on the DLA Internet Bid Board (DIBBS).

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The most recent buy for this item was in November 2015. Price was determined fair and reasonable based on historical pricing, and was coded “BG”.

Based upon historical pricing in 2014 & 2015, the quantity bought ranged from 15 units to 70 units, and the unit price remained constant; there was no change in the price paid based on quantity. There is no reason to believe that GE Aviation (07639) will not enter a fair and reasonable price for the solicitation quantity of 29 units.

The estimated maximum value of this PR is Therefore, Other Than Cost or Pricing Data will be used to determine a fair and reasonable price. This includes historical pricing, comparison of similar items, price analysis, negotiation procedures, traceability, and the use of resources available through the Pricing Office.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

A Market Survey was sent, and a Sources Sought was posted to FedBizOpps.
