The use of the authority cited is based on:

[X] AMSC C. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

The Contract Specialist verified the AMC/AMSC for this procurement with Product Specialist on December 5, 2017, and the AMC/AMSC was verified as being a 1/C. No data or drawings are available for this item. Meggitt (25693) and Boeing (76301) remain the only approved sources for this procurement at this time. This is because they are currently the only sources known to possess the requisite data to manufacture this item, and also have the manufacturing capability and knowledge to produce this item. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Any alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity’s procedures, as approved by the cognizant government engineering activity.

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

(X) The acquisition was synopsized on 1/22/2018.

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 below 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 may ask for assistance from the DLA Land and Maritime pricing office if necessary. Negotiations may take place in an effort
