PART II - Technical Information and Certification

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

a. Contractor(s) Name:

BAE SYSTEMS

DBA US COMBAT SYSTEMS, GROUND SYSTEMS DIV

1205 COLEMAN AVE.

SANTA CLARA, CA 95050-2619

CAGE 80212

b. SUB CONTRACTOR(s)/ACTUAL MANUFACTURER(s):

BENCHMARK ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS EMS

SAN JOSE, CA 95138

CAGE 323N3

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

a. Status of the Acquisition Data:

The Technical Data Package (TDP) acquisition production specification data for Bradley CML items listed in Part I above are not fully defined. The government does not own Level III technical data capable of supporting competitive procurement of this requirement. It is known that the present design is nearly obsolete from a manufacturing stand point due to microcircuit obsolesence in all 7 LRU’s being purchased, therefore it would be counterproductive and a waste of money and effort to persue obtaining full documentation in hopes of future competition because that design could not be built. Per the Bradley Program Management office, this is essentially the last build of these 7 LRU’s to the present (obsolete) design. Given the full production of these LRU’s, the Army Inventory system will be able to sustain the fielded Bradley fleet beyond 2020 after which the fleet design will be supported via ECP II production items that are yet to be designed.

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

Presently there is no effort to obtain competition of this design via qualification of a new source in relation to this procurement because only the present vendor that has proprietary production rights to the existing design. This same vendor also has in its possession the remaining quantity of the obsolete components that are otherwise no longer availabile. Because ofthese two factors and the obsolescence mentioned in (a.) above, there would be no chance of a return on investment in the qualification of a new source.

c. Demonstration of Approved Contractor's Unique Qualifications:

BAE is the prime contractor for Bradley. BAE integrated, produced, fielded and updated the various subsystems listed in Part 1 above. The actual vendor that designed and manufactured these subsystems has qualified Benchmark Electronics for this manufacturing effort, and has passed along their proprietary data and manufacturing rights necessary for Benchmark to manufacture these subsystems.

d. Efforts to Qualify Additional Suppliers for future procurements:

No contractors are in the process of becoming qualified for the Bradley CML items listed in Part I above at this time. As mentioned in (a.) and (b.) above, this is the last production contract of these LRU’s, therefore no effort is being made in this area for these obsolete designs.

New sources would require the development of extensive testing and processing procedures. The additional time required for these actions would prohibit delivery of the items in a time frame that would meet the Government’s requirements, and given that this is the last production due to obsolescence, there would be no return on investment in this effort.

To date there has not been any expressed interest by any known contractors to become a qualified source to produce these LRU’s. Interested contractors can seek qualification through the Source Approval Program with the Competition Management Office.

e. Market Research:

Computer based market research was conducted in the preparation of this document and to date, no drop in replacements are available in the commercial market place that have been qualified in this uniquely military application which includes the entire vehicle vibration profile of the Bradley fighting vehicle.

On 2 February 2016, A Sources Sought Synopsis has been requested. To date, no additional contractors have expressed an interest in this item.

followed to determine that the contract price is fair and reasonable. The appropriate forms of cost and/or price analysis will be utilized, and negotiations will be conducted if necessary.

6. Contracting Officer Certification: I certify that this J&A is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

AMC/AMSC: 3H - Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer. The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part from other than the current source(s). This code is applicable only to parts under immediate buy requirements and only for as long thereafter as the deficiency is under review for resolution and appropriate recoding. This code is only assigned at the conclusion of limited screening, and it remains assigned until the full screening process resolves physical data questions and results in assignment of a different AMSC. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid..

This action will be awarded under other than full and open competition pursuant to the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and subject to the availability of funds. This approval is subject to the proviso that the property herein described has otherwise been authorized for acquisition.
