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

Manufacturer CAGE Code Part Number SAF Industries LLC 26044 1R34156-1

Crissair Inc. 99240 6F3066

The approved sources listed above are the only known approved source that have the technical data necessary to manufacture this part.

The use of the authority cited below:

Acquisition Method Code (AMC) 1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

Acquisition Method Suffix Code (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.

The acquisition will be synopsized and a pre-solicitation notice posted on the Government Point of Entry (GPE) website (https://sam.gov) website on or after 25 June 2021.

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

According to the Small Business Association, both manufactures have been determined to be small businesses for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code (332911) of this part. This information is in Tab 8 of Stack 1.

Based on market research, one of the approved sources, SAF Industries, identified by Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code 26044 is expected to provide a proposal for this item. The Government also expects to receive a proposal from New England Specialty Components, identified by CAGE Code 1WAC1, a distributor. Based on New England Specialty Components’ response to the market survey questionnaire, they will be sourcing the item from Crissair, the other approved source. Therefore, the Government expects to receive two proposals offering the product of two different small business manufacturers for this procurement. There were no responses received from the Sources Sought notice posted to the GPE on 16 April 2021.

This item was previously auto awarded with acquisition values well below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. It has been awarded to SAF Industries, an approved source, and New England Specialty Components, a distributor.

The acquisition is below the Truth in Negotiation Act threshold of $2,000,000, and certified cost or pricing data (CCPD) will not be required. Other than cost or pricing data may be required to determine the price fair and reasonable. Additional methods may be used in determining if the offered price is fair and reasonable if needed. If necessary, a price analysis will be conducted utilizing historical price data from most previous award and estimated annual demand quantity for the LTC.
