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.

It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part.

The AMC/AMSC codes and approved source were verified as complete and accurate by Product Specialist Erik Elmendorf on May 26, 2020. See Attachment #3.

This item being solicited is a various hose assemblies and accessories used to support various aircraft. The Government currently does not have the data available to acquire these parts competitively. Eaton Aeroquip Corp.

(00624) is the only known source that has the complete data for these items. As of this date, there are no other known sources for these items. The hose assemblies are used for hydraulic fluid distribution in aircraft. They have multiple applications including hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and cooling systems. The quick disconnect coupling halfs are used when frequent disconnections, repairs, and replacements are required and prevent the unnecessary loss of fluids and prevents the intake of air which eliminates unnecessary maintenance.

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about August 30, 2020 for 15 days prior to the solicitation opening. 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).

[ ] Dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

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

a. Certified Cost and Pricing data is not required I/A/W FAR 15.403-1(b)(3), as this acquisition will be procured utilizing FAR Part 12 procedures. These items will be solicited as Unrestricted Other Than Full and Open Competition. A fair and reasonable determination will be based on price comparisons to the prices offered in the commercial marketplace as well as the Government’s past buy history. It may be necessary to request an informal cost breakdown or a brief explanation of pricing approach to bolster the determination. The buyer only intends to award the NSNs if fair and reasonable price determinations can be made. Based upon the above techniques, the Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
