PART II - Technical Information and Certification

1. The US Army TACOM LCMC requires the acquisition of the above item. The only approved source for the above item is:

a. Contractor(s) Name: Weibel Equipment Cage: 1C604 Part Number: 12999104 (antenna)

2. Reasons the item is not suitable for full and open competition:

a. Status of the Acquisition Data:

The TDP consists of a Source Controlled top drawing for the MVRS Antenna. The antenna makes up greater than 90% of the kit. The approved source of supply for the MVRS Antenna is Weibel Equipment (1C604). The technical data for the MVRS antenna is owned by Weibel Equipment. The government TDP does not contain sufficient technical data to define or fabricate the item.

Weibel is the only source of supply that has been approved to produce the MVRS Antenna. Weibel is the only contractor who has the required technical and engineering knowledge, production facility expertise, internal configuration control, overall management capability and quality testing capabilities necessary to produce this item.

b. Efforts to Increase Competition or Qualify a New Source in Relation to this Procurement:

Developing a competitive technical data package through reverse engineering would not be cost efficient due to the limited quantities involved. The procurement history only contains one previous buy for this part, in 2009.

c. Demonstration of Approved Contractor's Unique Qualifications:

In addition to being the sole owner of the drawings and technical data rights for the MVRS Antenna, Weibel is the only contractor who has the required technical and engineering knowledge, production facility expertise, internal configuration control, overall management capability and quality testing capabilities necessary to produce and deliver this item.

d. Efforts to Qualify Additional Suppliers for future procurements:

No contractors are in the process of being qualified at this time nor will be prior to the contract award due to funding constraints.

Additional suppliers cannot be qualified unless the government or the contractor reverse engineers the item first. The funding associated with qualifying a new source is not expected to be recovered through subsequent competition.

To date, no other viable sources have written to express interest for this requirement.

These requirements will be synopsized in the FedBizOpps website to maximize subcontracting opportunities in accordance with FAR 5.201 and the solicitation will be posted on the Army Contracting Command (ACC) Warren Procurement Network (PROCNET) website. Interested suppliers may apply to the Source Approval Program of the TACOM LCMC-Warren Competition Advocate’s Office.

e. Market Research:

The NSN does not appear on the CASL or APPL lists. A sources sought synopsis has been requested. To date, no additional contractors have expressed an interest in this item.

3. The POC for this action is Todd McCollam, General Engineer, 309-782-8141.
