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

(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 Pumps Systems (96046) P/N 1ZDCL-M0056-111

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 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.

Per the Government approved source list available for this NSN in SAP, only Crane Pumps Systems (96046) 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 4630-01-674-4414 is designated as a critical application item, and its weapon system essentiality code is 1 (failure will render the end item inoperable). As such, acquisition from the currently approved sources is required to maintain the quality of the part.

This NSN has three source controlled drawings, 2600908, 2589142, and 2584542, all of which are owned by the Naval Sea Systems. The main drawing is 2600908. This is a Source Controlled Drawing, with the drawing being owned by the Naval Sea Systems Command (80064), but with Crane Pumps (96046) owning the data for manufacturing this item. As such, currently the only approved source known to possess the manufacturing capability, technical data, expertise, and permit to produce this item is: Crane Pumps and Systems (96046).

Last technical review of this item was conducted on 01/11/19 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.

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:
