Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Reference Solicitation Number: SPE7M523R0026; Purchase request (PR): 7002371274

SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION- SEE FAR 2.101 AND 3.104

If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture this item, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

On 5/1/2023, the Product Specialist (see Attachment #1) certified that the technical information, including the AMC/AMSC and approved sources, is complete and accurate. The product specialist validated that this NSN has an Acquisition Method Code/Acquisition Method Suffix Code(s) (AMC/AMSC) of 3/P. Meggitt North Hollywood (79318) is uniquely qualified because they are the only known source with the data rights necessary to manufacture the item.

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

The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 6/21/2023 for 15 days. At the conclusion of the synopsis, the solicitation will post on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) for 30 days.

A Sources Sought was posted to SAM on 4/29/2023 for 15 days. No responses were received.

Distributors of Meggitt North Hollywood will be solicited.

6. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The most recent procurement was in 4/2020 for 121 units at $5182 per unit and was based on the contracting officer’s analysis of any other reasonable basis for a simplified acquisition procurement (PRC BJ).

This will be a firm, fixed price contract to a DLA Direct stocking location. IAW FAR 19.702(b), a subcontracting plan will be required as the estimated maximum value exceeds $750,000. Certified Cost or Pricing Data will not be required as the estimated maximum value does not exceed $2 million.

Negotiations may be used pending price analysis.

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 for a definite quantity with no options 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. Previous quotes from Meggitt and their distributor Jamaica Bearings Group did not state this a commercial item. A search on both Google and GSA Advantage found no listings. A search on the website for Meggitt 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 4/29/2023 to 5/12/2023. No responses were received.

In addition to the Sources Sought, a market survey was sent to Jamaica Bearings Group (04836), the sole distributor for Meggitt on 4/29/2023 and was returned on 5/12/2023. Meggitt will not submit an offer for this procurement and prefers to use Jamaica Bearings to sell to the Government.
