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

[X] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

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.

March 1st, 2021, and has certified that the information provided is correct and accurate. The Product Specialist stated that the AM 3 C is correct. No drawings or data package are available to the Government, and

. -Wright (03972) and Ontic (45934) remains the only approved sources for this procurement at this time. Honeywell, Curtiss-Wright and Ontic are currently the only sources known to possess the requisite data to manufacture this item. These sources are approved by the design control activity. Any alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity’s procedures, as approved by the cognizant government engineering activity.

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

[X] The acquisition was synopsized on 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).

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- 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 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
