[X] AMSC B. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100.

Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

The Contract Specialist verified the AMC/AMSC of 1B for this procurement with Product Specialist on July 19, 2017. The Product Specialist stated that this NSN is a Switch Thermostatic, with its classification being of a pressure switch based on the reference method used to measure the sensed pressure. This item is governed by a Source Control Drawing. Per the applicable Source Control Drawing, 160260 is available; however, a dummy doc is linked to the material master as the drawing is proprietary and is restricted to United Technologies Corporation (55820) P/N: 160260-3 55820. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources.

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

(X) The acquisition was synopsized on August 2, 2017.

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

Formal C/P Data will not be required because the current estimated contract price is not above the price threshold of $750,000 (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 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.

Market Survey [10 U.S.C. 2304(f)(3)(D)]: Market research surveys were sent on July 17, 2017 by SAPD and follow-up by the buyer on 08/02/17. A Sources Sought notice was posted by SAPD to the FBO on July 27, 2017 with a return deadline for the completed market research survey being for 10 days out.
