On September 7, 2017, Product Specialist reviewed the AMC/AMSC code for NSN 2920-01- 487-3587 and concurs that the AMC AMSC 3B code is correct.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

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

[ X ] AMSC B. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100.

Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD- 100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

The source listed above is the only approved source. The above source (Prestolite Electric Inc.), is the only known source to own or possess the technical data necessary to manufacture this item. Therefore, this acquisition will be solicited with Other than Full and Open Competition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302.

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

[ X ] The acquisition was synopsized on or about December 5, 2017.

[ X ] Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. This item has an AMC/AMSC code of 3B, which is explained in the above paragraph #5. There is not a reasonable expectation that two or more responsible offerors, competing independently will submit priced offers in response to the solicitation. A price analysis will be conducted using commercial market pricing, historical government pricing, the Producer Price Index (PPI) and learning curve analysis. By using these techniques the Contracting Officer anticipates that the costs to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

8. A search of the Industrial Base Management System, Surge and Sustainment Evaluation Check indicated that there are no surge requirements for this item. The Surge Clauses and Provisions will not be included in the solicitation.

9. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

A source sought was posted on June 19, 2017 with a response date of June 26, 2017; no company responded.

NSN 2920-01-487-3587 along with P/N M0017705ME was searched on the General Services Administration (GSA) Advantage website and all the searches came back with the following statement – “We found no exact matches for your search term.”

Market Survey Results: Prestolite is the only company listed in the procurement history since 2008. Prestolite was the only company that was sent a market survey and Prestolite responded to market survey questions during November 2017. The conclusion of the market survey is as follows:

The buyer located the previous J & A (for LTC SPE7LX-14-D-0012) in the SRM Records Management Database (See Attachment 1). The solicitation has not changed since the last purchase.

10. Additional facts supporting other than full and open competition are:

Based upon the technical certification on file in DLA Land and Maritime – VEP technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.

11. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in the acquisition is: (If none, so state)

Prestolite Electric Incorporated (CAGE 0EDY1).

12. The following actions are being taken to identify additional sources:

The solicitations shall include procurement notes L04 Offers for Part Numbered Items and M06 Evaluation of Offers for Part Numbered Items. The product specialist reviewed the NSNs on this project during project creation, and no new sources were found.

I hereby certify that the information contained in this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. If not exceeding $700,000, this signature serves as the approval.
