DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (Jan May 2018)

[X] AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

The Contract Specialist verified the AMC/AMSC for this procurement with Product Specialist on May 7th, 2021.

The Product Specialist stated that the AMC/AMSC coding of 3/D is correct with no recent changes. No drawings or data package is available, all data necessary to manufacture this item is proprietary to the approved source Sauer Compressors USA (1KWT0). Sauer Compressors USA (1KWT0) remains the only approved source for this procurement at this time, and they are the only source known to possess the requisite data to manufacture this item.

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

[X] A Sources Sought Notice was posted for this NSN on May 7, 2021 for 7 days.

[X] The acquisition was synopsized on 6/3/2021 for 17 days. At the completion of the synopsis period, this PR will be solicited on the internet for 30 days via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

No responses were received regarding the sources sought notice or the synopsis posting.

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

Certified Cost or Pricing Data will not be required because the current estimated contract price is under the price threshold of $2,000,000 (FAR 15.403-4 and 10 U.S.C. 2306(a)). Offerors may be required to provide additional information for determining reasonableness of price. The buyer only intends to award this NSN when a fair and reasonable price determination can be made. The Contracting Officer will conduct price analysis by reviewing historical pricing, usage of the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. The acquisition specialist may ask for assistance from the DLA Land and Maritime pricing office if necessary. Negotiations may take place in an effort to comply with DoD Material Cost Reduction Initiative. An option quantity will not be used for this procurement. Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Market Survey [10 U.S.C. 2304(f)(3)(D)]: A market survey was conducted on/during: May 7, 2021. A Sources Sought notice was posted to Beta.SAM.Gov on May 7, 2021. The Sources Sought notice had a response date of May 14, 2021.
