The use of the authority cited is based on:

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

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

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

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

(X) A “Sources Sought” synopsis was posted in Fed BizOpps on March 24, 2016 and closed on March 31, 2016. The only response received was from the current approved source, Disan Engineering.

(X) The requirement will be synopsized for 15 days during May 2016.
