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

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

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Resolver, Electrical

NSN/PN: 5990-01-462-8415 QUANTITY: 25

EST.VALUE: AMSC: B

ESTIMATED BASE VALUE

MAXIMUM CONTRACT VALUE

Quantity breaks from 25 to 50 units

IAW DFARS PGI 6.3, the previous J&A must be attached. The previous procurement was below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, so the J&A does not exist.

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

(X) 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

5. On 11/1/2016, the product specialist has identified and verified that Honeywell (08815) 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:

Honeywell International Inc (08815)

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 B. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required

DLA Land and Maritime Justification & Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) (April 2014) data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

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

(X) The acquisition will be synopsized on or about February 2017.

(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.

This will be a stocked item. The estimated price of the solicited maximum quantity of 50 units will not exceed $750,000, requiring certified cost or pricing data. The solicited maximum quantity of 50 units will not exceed $700,000, which requires a sub-contracting plan.

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

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

Quantity: 25 each (Quantity price breaks will be solicited from 25 units up to 50 units in anticipation of requirements increases).

Estimated Contract Value:
