6. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The most recent historical procurement was purchase order SPE7M519PA152 on 8/28/2019 at $7450 per unit for 100 units and was based on contracting officer’s analysis and comparison with historical procurements (PRC BG).

This will be a firm, fixed price contract for stocked items. IAW FAR 19.702(a)(1) a subcontracting plan will be required as the estimated value will exceed $750,000. IAW FAR 15.403-4, Certified Cost or Pricing Data will not be required as the estimated maximum value will not exceed $2 million.

Negotiations may be used pending price analysis and competition.

Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

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

7. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Information received regarding the commerciality of the item(s):

The Material Master (MM03) states this item is not commercial. Review of previous procurements did not indicate this is a commercial part. A search on both Google and GSA Advantage found no listings. A search on the website for Symetrics did not find this part listed. The product specialist did not state this a commercial or a commercial-of-a-type item. The Contracting Officer hereby determines that this item is not commercial.

A Sources Sought was posted on SAM from 7/15/2021 to 7/29/2021, two responses were received from Addon Services and Printed Circuits Corp. As neither Addon nor Printed Circuits Corp are an approved source, an informational packet on the Source Approval Request (SAR) process will be sent to both vendors, along with an invitation to submit an offer once the solicitation is posted.

In addition to the sources sought, a market survey was sent on 7/15/2021 to the approved source Symetrics.
