[X] AMSC Z. This part is a commercial/nondevelopmental/off-the-shelf item.

If at least two sources are available, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid (When one or a limited number of sources are available, then a J&A is required. When an item is coded with AMSC “Z” and is listed on an interchange catalog or appears on a commercial cross reference list, this constitutes full and open competition and a J&A is not necessary).

On March 25, 2025, the Product Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certificate is attached.

Certified cost or pricing data, when required by FAR 15.403-4, and data other than certified cost or pricing data, will be requested and obtained as necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price, and a cost analysis may be performed on the data submitted.
