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

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

Curtiss-wright Electro-mechanical (0UBG9) P/N N-SP-00238

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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

(The following are the AMSC descriptions. The full text is available in DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2).

[ X ] AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

Per the Government approved source list available for this NSN in SAP, only Curtiss-wright Electro-mechanical (0UBG9) 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 4320-01-478-0579 is designated as a critical item, and its weapon system indicator code is F (failure will render end item inoperable). As such, acquisition from the currently approved sources is required to maintain the quality of the part. Per the Product Specialist, no additional sources beyond those listed in the AMPL have been identified. 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.

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

(X) The acquisition will be synopsized on or about August 2019 ( ) Manufacturers of similar products identified in the market research will be solicited.

(X) Dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

( ) A synopsis exception cited in FAR 5.202 applies. (explain)

( ) Other (Explain) _______________________________________________________.

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 price 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 Contracting Officer will conduct price analysis by reviewing historical pricing, usage of the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. The acquisition 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. An option quantity will not be used for this procurement.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:
