DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (February 2025)

Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104

The use of the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is based on:

[X] AMC 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

The following AMSC descriptions are available in DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2.

[X] AMSC R. The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. 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 4/02/2025, the Product Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certification is attached (see Attachment #1).

6. The following efforts are being taken to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable:

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 5/19/2025 for a period of 14 days.

[ ] A synopsis exception cited in FAR 5.202 applies (Explain): __________________.

[X] Dealers of the approved source(s) will be solicited.

[X] The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days.

[ ] Other (Explain): __________________.

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

A price analysis will be conducted based on a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation and/or a comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid. Certified cost or pricing data, when required by FAR 15.403-4, and data other than certified cost or pricing data, will be requested and obtained as necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price, and a cost analysis may be performed on the data submitted.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Sources Sought Notice:

[X] A Sources Sought Notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov on 3/21/2025 for a period of 10 business days and yielded the following results: One response was received from BHPE LLC (9SWS7). The buyer provided a DLA Source Approval Request (SAR) guide via email.

9. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is (If none, so state): Jo-Kell Inc (5V049) (distributor of L3Harris Maritime Power & Energy (30086))

10. The following actions are being taken to overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition is made:

[X] The solicitation contains DLAD Procurement Note, L04 Offers for Part Numbered Items, which describes the process for submitting an alternate offer on the current procurement and requesting evaluation of an alternate product’s technical acceptability for future procurements of the same item.

DLA Land and Maritime encourages vendors that may be interested in becoming an approved source, even if there is not an active solicitation, to contact the DLA Land and Maritime Source Approval Monitor at DSCCAO- SAR@dla.mil for additional information on the steps required to submit a Source Approval Request Package for evaluation.

[X] Other (Explain): All offers submitted will be considered and evaluated based upon the requirements as stated within the solicitation.

In accordance with DFARS PGI 206.303-2, [X] A prior justification is not available since all prior acquisitions were under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

I hereby certify that the information contained in this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. If not exceeding $750,000, this signature serves as the approval.
