The use of the authority cited is based on:

[X] AMSC D.

(X) The acquisition was synopsized on May 3, 2017.

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

Offerors may be required to provide additional information for determining reasonableness of price.

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 will not be going through the DLA Land and Maritime pricing office for assistance. 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.
