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

[ X ] 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) – Only available from one responsible source or a limited number of sources

a. Brief narrative supporting the situation and weapon system:

This is a DLA stock procurement of 21 each of NSN: 4810-015287529 going to DLA Depot SW3211 in Oklahoma City, OK. DPC shows a monthly forecast quantity of 1.08 with a current backorder

If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code: Woodward, Inc. (66503) is the only approved source of supply. The Government does not have drawings that are suitable for competitive procurement. Any company offering a product other than the approved source’s part would require approval for the alternate part. Woodward, Inc. (66503) is the only source that owns/possesses the sufficient technical data to manufacture this item. The Material Master in SAP shows the last technical review date for this item was on 04/12/2017. Based on the AMC/AMSC 3/L, the Government is not in possession of complete technical data and per the approved manufacturer part list available for this NSN, Woodward, Inc. (66503) is the only current source that possess the technical data necessary to manufacturer this item for DLA and military service.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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

[ X ] AMSC L. The annual buy value of this part falls below the screening threshold established by DoD components and field activities. However, this part has been screened for additional known sources, resulting in either confirmation that the initial source exists or that other sources may supply the part. No additional screening was performed to identify the competitive or noncompetitive conditions that would result in assignment of a different AMSC. This code shall not be used when screening parts entering the inventory. This code shall be used only to replace AMSC O for parts under the established screening threshold. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

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

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 4810-015287529. 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.
