Quantity breaks from 75 to 110 each

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.

On 6/20/2016, the product specialist has identified and verified that Lockheed Martin Sippican is the only known source that possesses the requisite data rights for this NSN with the capability to manufacture this part and the only known active manufacturing source for this item.

If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code:

Lockheed Martin Sippican (13030)

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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

[X] AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation.

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

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

(X) The acquisition will be synopsized on or about August 2016.

(X) Other (Explain): Will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

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 Lockheed Martin Sippican (13030) in June 2016 for 22 units at $6379 per unit and was determined fair and reasonable based on buyer analysis of price comparison to a previous purchase (BG). History shows this NSN has been purchased 14 times total, dating to 3/2010, all from Sippican. The quantities have varied from 4 to 22 units.

Pricing has ranged from $4915 to $8615 per unit. Based on the prior purchases, it is reasonable to expect that pricing will be lower than the last price paid.

This will be a stocked item. The estimated price of both the solicited quantity of 87 units and maximum quantity of 110 units will not exceed $750,000, requiring certified cost and pricing data. The top price break of 110 units does exceed $700,000, which will require a sub-contracting plan.

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

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

Quantity: 87 each (Quantity price breaks will be solicited from 75 each up to 110 each in anticipation of requirements increases).

Estimated Contract Value:
