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

[ X ] 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

5. The acquisition is restricted to the only source of supply known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies. The only approved source for these items is:

GMS Industrial Supply (3G2C5)

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

The use of the authority cited below:

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

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[X] AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

The Government does not have the data or rights to the data and it is not economical for the Government to obtain or otherwise develop the data. GMS Industrial Supply (3G2C5) is the only source to possess the complete technical data for these items; therefore, they are the only source uniquely qualified to manufacture these items and the only approved source listed for these NSNs. On 8/21/17, the Product Specialist (PS) confirmed the AMC/AMSC code of 3/D and stated the current AMC/AMSC is correctly coded in association with the sources listed for these items. A review of the document availability code reveals that the drawings for this item cannot be made available to the general public.

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

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized in the October 2017 timeframe for 15 days and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one.

[X] On 7/17/17, a sources sought notice was issued on the Federal Business Opportunities website in order to seek out and encourage additional sources and vendor participation. The sources sought notice closed on 7/24/17, and there were no responses received to this notice.

7. A market survey: Market research was conducted by the Sourcing Strategy Branch, ZAA. The Sourcing Strategy Specialist (SSS) sent out the survey to GMS Industrial Supply (3G2C5) on 7/7/17, and they responded to the market survey on 7/7/17. The market survey asked this company to provide information such as willingness to quote a three-year base period and priced option years, provide stock delivery, state if the items are quantity sensitive, state if the items are commercial, preference for zones, asked if they could provide packaging requirements, and asked information regarding FOB and zones. On 9/19/17, the buyer contacted GMS for additional information to support a commercial determination and on 9/20/17, GMS responded with supporting documentation. This documentation included a published price list available on their website. A summary of the sole response received is below:

GMS Industrial Supply (3G2C5) Woman Owned Small business manufacturer with a preference to deal with the Government Is interested in pursuing a Long-Term-Contract for any or all of these items

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

Provided a Commercial Price List that is available online

8. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. Cost and Pricing Data is not required per FAR 15.402-1 (b)(3). The contracting officer will use price analysis and buy history to determine that the contract award prices are fair and reasonable as required by FAR 6.303-2(b)(7). In addition, the offeror(s) may be requested to submit information other than cost or pricing data for determining price reasonableness.

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

A tech review was completed by the SAPD Product Specialist on 8/21/17. Based upon the technical certification on file, 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. A tech review confirmed each NSN a sole source item. At the time of LTC/Project reviews, no other sources or adequate technical data could be identified or located for competitive procurement of these NSNs. Market research did not identify any other sources capable of manufacturing these items.

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

GMS Industrial Supply (3G2C5)

12. This item is subject to the following methods of locating additional sources: The solicitation contains the Procurement Note L04 Offers for Part Numbered Items.

13. The buyer searched the previous awards listed in the contract history in Records Management in EProcurement for previous J&A’s, as required by DFARS PGI 206.304. Only one J&A could be found and this is for NSN 4910- 01-620-2615.
