DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN

FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren is the procuring activity for this action. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy requirements."

PART I - Description of Item Required:

a. PUMP, HYDRAULIC

b. QUANTITY: 30

OPTION QUANTITY: 30

c. NSN: 4320-01-557-3236

d. MPN: 12326762 (MIL Part No.)

A10V0100DRG/31L-PUC62M00S043A-1783 (RexRoth’s P/N)

e. VEHICLE SYSTEM: ARMORED VEHICLE,BRIDGE

LAUNCHER,M60A1 CHASSIS

f. ESTIMATED UNIT PRICE: $2,767.77

g. ESTIMATED VALUE: $83,033.10

ESTIMATED OPTION VALUE: $83,033.10

ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE: $166,066.20

h. PRON NUMBER: EH56E182EH

i. TYPE OF FUNDS: AWCF

j. TYPE OF CONTRACT: Firm Fixed Price

k. AMC 1: Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time

l. AMSC B: This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

PART II - Technical Information and Certification

1. The US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command requires the acquisition of the above item. The only approved source for the above item is:

a. Contractor(s) Name:

REXROTH

2315 CITY LINE RD

BETHLAHEM, PA 18017-21321

(CAGE-27005) P/N: 12326762

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

a. Status of the Acquisition Data:

The TDP and its proprietary rights are not owned by the Government and as such, the data required to produce a competitive TDP are not currently available.

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

The quantity of parts in this PRON as compared to the cost of developing a new TDP as well as an alternate contractor of the associated components, testing and possibly tooling, does not justify itself. An alternate contractor would need a detailed TDP and detailed manufacturing information that would need to be generated utilizing reverse engineering methodology through the use of considerable Government resources. The cost of such resources would not be recoverable through low volume subsequent competition. The engineering estimate for the cost of developing an alternative source includes the TDP development, reverse engineering, procuring proprietary data, product tooling, manufacturing tooling, testing and qualification and engineering/personnel resources. Considering these factors, the engineering estimate is well over $500,000. This estimate is purely an engineering estimate based on engineering experience. Additionally, the timing to execute a new program with an alternate contractor is estimated to take approximately 1.5 years, which would render equipment unusable for that period of time, which does not effectively serve the mission requirements.

c. Demonstration of Approved Contractor's Unique Qualifications:

The approved source REXROTH (CAGE 27005) P/N 12326762 is the sole owner of their drawings and technical data rights. The Government did not buy their proprietary rights to produce a competitive TDP.

REXROTH (CAGE 27005) P/N 12326762 has demonstrated the ability to establish and maintain the processing required to successfully produce a finished item. The approved source has produced and qualified with the Army.

d. Efforts to Qualify Additional Suppliers for future procurements:

At this time there are no current planned efforts to qualify additional sources due to the fact that there is no technical data available, nor are there any funds available to conduct testing requirements. Interested companies can contact the Source Approval Program of the Competition Advocate’s Office.

e. Market Research:

Computer based market research was conducted in the preparation of this document. To date, no additional sources have been identified that are capable of proving the exact item, due to inadequate technical data. As stated above, interested contractors should contact the Competition Advocate’s office for more information on qualification.

3. The POC for this action is Christopher Roca, Sustainment Bridging Engineer, Bridging Team (RDTA-DP/BRDG - TARDEC), (586) 282-5944.
