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

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

[ ] 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2) - Urgency.

[ ] 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) - _____________________________________________________________.

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

__Triumph Actuation Systems (61898); P/N: 30110 and Circor Aerospace Inc. (50601) P/N: 5053L000-6._

The use of the authority cited below:

[ X ] AMC 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

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

DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (May 2016) 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.

Per the approved manufacturer part list available for subject NSN, only Circor Aerospace (50601) and Triumph Actuation Systems (61898) have been identified by the Government as having the complete technical dataset and appropriate manufacturing expertise to supply this NSN to DLA and the using military service. It is designated as a critical application item, and its weapon system indicator code is H (operational environment). As such, acquisition from the currently approved source is required to maintain the quality of the part. Last technical review of this item was conducted on 04/08/16 and no additional sources beyond those listed in the AMPL were identified. Based on the technical review, only the two approved sources have that complete technical data and manufacturing expertise to successfully manufacture this item for the Government and using Military service.

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

(X) The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 06/30/2016 and will be posted for 15 days, after such time the PR will be available via DIBBS for 30 days.

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

__Competition between two independent manufacturers is expected and therefore certified cost/price data is not required. The buyer will utilize price analysis techniques such as price competition and comparison to past purchases of same item to determine price reasonableness. Informal cost/price data will be requested if determined to be necessary. Based on the mentioned techniques, the contracting officer anticipates the costs to the Government to be determined fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Describe the market research conducted and the results. Sources sought notice posted to FedBizOpps May 12- May 19, 2016.

A technical review of the NSN was completed on 04/08/16 and confirmed via an ESA review that Cage: 61898 is an acceptable source for this NSN. A review of past procurements for this NSN was conducted. An internet search of NSN 4810-010449244 found only sites referencing the NSNs and listed the approved source of Cage: 50601. A Previous Justification and Approval is attached (attachment I).
