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

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

-SPD Electrical Systems, Inc. (30086)

The use of the authority cited below:

AMC 3: Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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.

It is noted that the process of developing and releasing a Purchase Request (PR) requires, first a review and determination by the Product Specialist that the technical data is correct, including the AMC and AMSC codes, and it reflects the minimum requirements for the item.

Additionally, the buyer confirmed with the Product Specialist of record 7/5/19 the AMC/SC of 3/C is still accurate, the current source is acceptable and there are no other sources approved at this time. They also verified SPD Electrical Systems, Inc. (30086) as the only known source to own or possess the technical data.

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 and any previous awardees.

c. The acquisition will be synopsized on FEDBIZOPPS for a period of 15 days.

d. Dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

e. The solicitation will be posted publically in DIBBS and will be open for a 30 day 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 35 EA. A review of Records Management revealed six procurements for this item in the last two years, all were determined fair and reasonable. The price for this procurement will be negotiated as needed after evaluation.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Market research was conducted via surveys and a Sources Sought June 28, 2019 through July 8, 2019. A Sources Sought Notice with market survey attached was posted via FEDBIZOPPS. Science Applications International (SAIC) responded to the Sources Sought expressing its interest in the acquisition. A market survey was also emailed directly to the dealers who have quoted in the past and the only past awardees, including SAIC, dealers who have quoted in the past and only past awardees. The manufacturer is not registered via DIBBS and could not be reached.
