7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The most recent buy for this item was from Communications Power Industries (88236) in December 2014 and was determined fair and reasonable based on contract history (BG). This NSN has been purchased eight times dating to 2008, but seven times since 2011, ranging in quantity from 12 to 150 units, and prices from per unit. All purchases for this NSN have been from CPI.

DFARS PGI 206.303-2(B) requires a copy of the J&A from the last procurement to be provided.

The previous procurement was in 2014 for a total contract value of $141,876. As the previous purchase was under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, no J&A was provided or necessary.

There was a J&A found for the procurement prior to that dated December 2013 and is attached to this document, see Attachment #2.

Consistent with procurement history this will be a stocked item. As mentioned above, the previous purchase of this item was procured in lower quantities. However, starting with this purchase request, an increased need is forecasted. It is anticipated that only one proposal will be received, from CPI. Since the estimated price will be under $700,000, price analysis will be used.

In performance of price comparison, learning curves and the bureau of Labor Statistics PPIs will be applied to the main buy quantity to be bought and to each incremental pricing structured mid-point quantity (if applicable), allowing for time and quantity variances as compared to the most recent successful award price to establish minimum and maximum pricing. Other than cost and pricing data, along with the use of the resources available through the Pricing Office may be required (if applicable).

Negotiations procedures may be used pending on price analysis results and competition.

Length of contract: A firm-fixed price contract will be issued.

Quantity: 29 each (Quantity price breaks will be solicited from 25 each up to 60 each in anticipation of requirements increases).

Estimated Contract Value:
