On October 16, 2017, the buyer received confirmation from the product specialist that the AMC/AMSC code of 1/C is accurate. There are three approved sources listed: Rockwell Collins, Inc. (13499) P/N 622-9022-001, Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp. (0ESR2) P/N 300655-500 and Raytheon Company (00724) P/N 01-01395-002. Per the Product Specialist, these are the only known sources that possess the technical data for the manufacturing of this item, thus, demonstrating that Rockwell Collins, Inc. (13499), Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp. (0ESR2) and Raytheon Company (00724) have unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge for this NSN. There are no other sources.

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

A Sources Sought synopsis was posted in FedBizOpps on October 24, 2017 through October 30, 2017. No responses were received.

The acquisition will be synopsized on or about January 2018 and will be solicited on the DLA Internet Bid Board (DIBBS).

Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited.

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

The most recent buy for this item was on January 23, 2017.

from Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp (13993). This price was determined fair and reasonable based off historical pricing and coded BG.

This NSN has been purchased 9 times since 2002. All of those awards went to Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp (13993). The quantities of those 9 awards ranged from 1 each to 50 each with prices going from $7,745 each to $26,756 each.

This will be a stocked item. The estimated price of the solicited maximum quantity of 25 each will not exceed $750,000, requiring certified cost or pricing data. The estimated price of the solicited maximum quantity of 25 each will not exceed $700,000, therefore a subcontracting plan will not be required.

In order to determine the cost as fair and reasonable, Price Analysis will be calculated using past procurement history, a Learning Curve and PPI. If additional analysis is needed for the fair and reasonable determination, support will be sought from the Pricing Office. The contract value at top price breaks is not expected to breech the threshold requiring Certified Cost or Pricing Data. Therefore, these clauses will not be included in the solicitation and Pricing Support for Certified Cost or Pricing Data will not be sought.

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

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

Quantity: 10 each (Price Breaks up to 25 each)
