DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

(AUG 2016)

The limited availability of sources for an item coded with an AMSC of “B” is inherent and not severable given that the item is identified with an increased level of criticality therein requiring a high degree of production and manufacturing fidelity. The AMSC code is subsequent technical direction in addition to the AMC (acquisition method code) which provides simple and clear instruction to acquire this item directly from the identified manufacturer only. As determined by the Technical/Quality Specialist of record, it is a fact that International Filter Manufacturing Corporation (Cage: 0CANI) and Maradyne Corporation (CAGE: 0DBY7) are the only manufacturing sources specified on the source control drawing. Only these approved sources possesses the complete technical data for the item. Based on the consistent provision of the item and the production quality, International Filter Manufacturing Corporation (Cage: 0CANI) and Maradyne Corporation (CAGE: 0DBY7) have been determined the only sources technically qualified 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 will be synopsized on or about May 10, 2018.

[X] Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited.

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

It is anticipated that cost or pricing data JAW FAR 15.403-4 will not be required due to the anticipation of competition. This requirement is over $700,000; therefore if competition does not exist after the solicitation is closed, certified cost and pricing data will be required and incorporated via an amendment to the solicitation. Price analysis will be conducted on comparison of the offer received with the past acquisition history, movement of the producer price index, and comparisons to similar items. Based upon the above techniques to be used, the Contracting Officer hereby anticipates costs to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The NSN in this initiative is determined to be non-commercial as defined by FAR 2.101.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:
