a. Brief narrative supporting the situation and weapon system:

This is a DLA stock procurement of 32 each of NSN: 4810-011543200 going to DLA Depot W62G2T. DPC shows a monthly forecast quantity of 1.7 units and a annual demand quantity of 19 units. Quantity has been confirmed for 32 units with price breaks to be requested from 15 units to up to 32 units.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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

[ 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.

Based on the AMC/AMSC 1/C, the Government is not in possession of complete technical data and per the approved manufacturer part list available for this NSN, Dukes Aerospace, (09445), and Hamilton Sundstrand (73030) are the only sources that possess the technical data necessary to manufacturer this item for DLA and military service.

Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (December 2011)

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

[ X ] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about November 14, 2016 and will be posted for 15 days. At the completion of the synopsis period, the solicitation will be available on the DLA Internet Bid Board Site (DIBBS) for 30 days.

I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The buyer will utilize price analysis techniques such as comparison to past purchases of same item and cost and price data as obtainable on items similar to NSN 4810-011543200. Certified cost/price data will be requested from the approved source. Based on the mentioned techniques, the contracting officer anticipates the costs to the Government to be determined fair and reasonable.
