The acquisition will be synopsized on or about February 2018 and will be solicited on the DLA Internet Bid Board (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 on 5/19/16. At that time, 1 each was purchased for each from GE Aviation Systems (93366).

For future acquisitions, the contracting officer shall not use actions coded with “Y” for comparison.

As this procurement was coded BY, it could not be used for price comparison purposes. The next most recent procurement reviewed was made on 4/3/15 for 1 each at $11,670.36 from GE Aviation Systems (93366). This price was determined fair and reasonable based off historical pricing and coded BG.

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.

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