SOLICITATION SPE7M915R0044

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (April 2014)

SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION – SEE FAR 2.101 AND 3.104

ORIGINAL

1. The Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Land and Maritime, is the contracting activity.

2. The action being approved is the acquisition of supplies on other than a full and open competition basis.

3. The supplies required to meet the using activity’s needs are described as follows:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION NSN/P/N QUANTITY EST. VALUE AMSC

Motor, direct current 6105-00-583-9063 363 C

Highest quantity increment 449 *based on most recent unit price

Identify end item, weapon system, or class of item: Aircraft, Stratofortress B-52

4. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is:

• 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

5. If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code:

• ITT Corp (73760)

• AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

• AMSC C. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Currently, ITT Corp. is the only source that possesses the technical data required to manufacture this item. 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.

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

• The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 7/2/15.

• Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited: T&L Sales (1XLG2), S I T Corp (1MQB3), Am-Mac Inc (0VW10), and Howe Machine (65777).

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

• Past procurement history will be reviewed, and a PPI/learning curve analysis will be performed. Based upon contract history, it is anticipated that the price will be determined fair and reasonable. This is a definite quantity buy for 363 each, and includes quantity price breaks for quantities between 300 and 449.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

• Market Survey [10 U.S.C. 2304(f)(3)(D)]:

• A sources sought notice with a market survey attached was posted to FedBizOps on 6/11/15.

A market survey was sent to the approved source, ITT Corp. No responses were received.

However, previous purchases made from dealers (T&L Sales (1XLG2), S I T Corp (1MQB3), Am-Mac Inc (0VW10), and Howe Machine (65777)) were for CAGE 73760’s product, indicating that their product is available and procurable.

• Information received regarding the commerciality of the item(s): Based on an internet search, a commercial market does not exist for this particular NSN. All search information for part number102650EG were tied to Government information sources.

9. Additional facts supporting other than full and open competition are:

• Based upon the technical certification on file in DLA Land and Maritime – VEP technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.

10. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is: (If none, so state)

• None

11. In addition to the specific actions being taken by Technical Support personnel to overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisitions or recertification of class determination are made, this item is subject to the following methods of locating additional sources:

• The solicitation contains the provision entitled Conditions for Evaluation and Acceptance of Offers for Part Numbered Items

I hereby certify that the information contained in this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. If not exceeding $650,000, this signature serves as the approval.
