(X) 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

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

Crane Co. (51663) P/N 68-335D

The use of the authority cited is based on:

(X) AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

[X] AMSC B. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100.

Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

DLA Land and Maritime Justification & Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) (April 2014)

Per the Government approved source list available for this NSN in SAP, only Crane Co.

(51663) has been identified by the Government as having the complete technical dataset and appropriate manufacturing expertise to supply this NSN to DLA and the using military service. NSN 4320-01-545-5812 is designated as a critical item, and its weapon system indicator code is F (Failure will render end item inoperable). Last technical review of this item was conducted on October 2, 2018 and no additional sources beyond those listed in the AMPL were identified. Based upon the technical review, only the approved source currently listed in the AMPL has the complete technical data and manufacturing expertise to successfully manufacture this item for the Government and the using military service. The Product Specialist confirmed this information was up to date on 1/4/19.

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

(X) The acquisition will be synopsized on or about January 2019.

(X) Dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

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

Formal C/P Data will not be required because the current estimated contract price is below the threshold of $2,000,000 (FAR 15.403-4 and 10 U.S.C. 2306(a)). Offerors may be required to provide additional information for determining reasonableness of price. The buyer only intends to award this NSN when a fair and reasonable price determination can be made. The most recent award price of $33,252.00 was determined fair and reasonable through dealer competition (PRC of BB). The Contracting Officer will conduct price analysis by reviewing historical pricing, usage of the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. The Contract Specialist may ask for assistance from the DLA Land and Maritime pricing office if necessary. Negotiations may take place in an effort to comply with DoD Material Cost Reduction Initiative.
