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:

Based on all of the research and information available as annotated in this document, the only source known to possess the technical data necessary to manufacture this item at this time is:

a. Valcor Engineering (16554), part number 28BFSB-75-2-8-24V.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

AMC 1: Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

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

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

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

a. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on FEDBIZOPPS with a Market Survey attached.

b. A Market Survey was mailed directly to the approved source.

c. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about July 11, 2016.

d. Dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

e. The solicitation will be posted publically in DIBBS and will be open for a 30 days period.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based on a review of the most recent previous procurements, market research, and PPI Price Analysis. This solicitation is for a one time buy, for a quantity of 114 each. A review of Records Management revealed two procurements for this item in the last two years, all were determined fair and reasonable.

Anticipated price per unit is based on past unit price, which was determined reasonable with code XG, using automated analysis. There is no large procurement in the history which showed a past J and A to attach to the current J and A. Using the last price per unit, the estimated price for the base price was calculated by multiplying the price times the quantity of 114 pieces to reach an estimate of . Using a high quantity break of 142 pieces based on the past variability of the quantities in past procurement history, and increasing by 25 percent to reach the highest quantity break figure. The price for this solicitation will be negotiated as needed after evaluation.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

A market research survey was sent to the sole approved source and posted as a sources sought notice on FEDBIZOPPS on 10/9/15. No reply was received from the sources sought notice, but a reply was received from Valcor, the sole approved source, on 10/23/15. Valcor replied that they would be willing to quote for this procurement, that they were a small company, that they were the manufacturer of this item. It was also stated that this was not a commercial item and that they had a commercial distribution network and that dealers in the network were not exclusive.
