ORIGINAL

1. The Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Land and Maritime, is the contracting activity.

2. The action being approved is the acquisition of supplies/services on other than a full and open competition basis.

3. The supplies/services required to meet the using activity’s needs are described as follows:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION NSN/P/N QUANTITY EST. VALUE AMC/AMSC

plug, centering bearing 4730-01-158-9595 1000 EA 1/R

Identify end item, weapon system, or class of item: Aircraft, Hawkeye E-2C

Large Purchase Requirement Estimated Base Value:

Estimated Total Value (Base + Options): No option will be included.

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

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:

Seanair Machine Co. (63630) Sikorsky Aircraft (78286)

Tech/Quality requirements were verified on 11/09/2016 and again on 03/22/2017 by the product specialist of record.

Seanair Machine Co. and Sikorsky Aircraft were reviewed by the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) and were determined to be the only two sources capable of manufacturing this item. The determination was made after the ESA found them to be the only sources that possess the technical data and data rights needed to manufacture this item. Therefore, the determination is made by the ESA to require acquisition of this material from one of the two approved sources, Seanair or Sikorsky.

The use of the authority cited below:

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

The use of the authority cited is based on:

AMSC R. The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

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

1. A sources sought synopsis was posted for five days on FedBizOps.

2. A pre-solicitation synopsis was posted for 15 day on FedBizOps.

3. A solicitation will be posted for 30 days on DIBBS.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. By comparing past procurement history pricing and the current estimated unit price of EA the Contracting Officer is affirmatively determining that the anticipated price and cost will be fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 6.303-2(b)(7). Per FAR 15.403 cost and pricing data is not required under this acquisition threshold however other than cost and pricing data may be obtained from the contractor to provide additional support for a price reasonableness determination. Negotiations may be required and will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.402 until a suitable agreement can be reached by both parties that will allow for a fair and reasonable determination for the Government.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Market research was conducted from 11/09/2016 to 11/14/2016.
