SOLICITATION SPE7MX18RX058

DLA Land and Maritime Justification & Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A)

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

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.

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

The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 9/21/2018.

Dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

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

Cost or pricing data will not be required as the items contained on this project have been determined commercial items in accordance with FAR 2.101 and, therefore, meet exception 15.403-1(b)(3). Commercial procedures will be utilized in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 12. However, per FAR 15.404-1(a)(2), a price analysis will be conducted. The price analysis will be conducted using historical pricing determined fair and reasonable for the same or similar items, the Producer Price index (PPI) and learning curve analysis. Commercial price documentation has already been obtained and will be incorporated into the fair and reasonable determination. Additional information, such as other-than cost data, will be obtained from the quoter(s), as necessary. By using the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates that the prices to the Government will be fair and reasonable. This procurement will be for a five-year base period, and prices for all years will be determined to be fair and reasonable prior to award.

A second sources sought notice was issued 9/10/2018 with a response date of 9/17/2018.

This notice utilized a more generic description that still included the approved part, but also identified the higher assembly on which the motor is used.

Sources are being sought for NSN 6105005839063, a direct current motor that operates a Boeing gate shutoff valve (FAA part number AV16B1350, Boeing part number 10-3200-1), which is used on the Boeing 707, 720, 727, and 737 commercial aircraft. The current approved source for NSN 6105005839063 is ITT Aerospace (73760), and the current part number is 102650EG. The Government is searching for other motors that may provide the same form, fit, and function as the approved part.

No responses were received from this notice.

Techniques used to conduct survey: Email with a form attached with explanation.

Types of information requested: Interest in LTC, terms of LTC, commerciality of

NSN.

Summary of information received: Howe Machine is the only source that indicated interest in the long-term contract solicitation. They did not return the market survey form; however, they provided quantity ranges for quantity price breaks and information for commercial item documentation.

Information received regarding the commerciality of the item: Howe Machine explained that this particular motor (ITT Aerospace p/n 102650EG) is sold commercially, and it operates a Boeing gate shutoff valve (FAA p/n AV16B1350, Boeing p/n 10-3200-1) that is used on the Boeing 707, 720, 727, and 737 commercial aircraft. This is documented on a Federal Aviation Administration “Parts Manufacturing Approval” listing, which Howe Machine provided. The shut off valve cross-references to specific Boeing part numbers and Boeing aircraft models on which they are used, as listed above. Howe Machine was asked if they know of any other manufacturers for this part, and they do not. However, the company representative stated that there are many motor manufacturers, but “ITT Aerospace Controls is the manufacturer and FAA/PM Approval holder for this item. Any other manufacturer is not approved unless they have FAA/PM Approval on a part….

The point of FAA/PM Approval is to ensure unapproved, unqualified and counterfeit parts do not get installed on commercial aircraft.” (This is very similar to the Government’s requirement for ESA approval to ensure the quality of the part.) ITT Aerospace commercial customers may register and log into ITT’s
