ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE OF PROCUREMENT (WITH OPTIONS)

Acquisition Method Code (AMC): 3 - Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer.

Acquisition Method Code (AMC): 5 - Acquire directly from a sole source contractor which is not the actual manufacturer.

Acquisition Method Suffix Code: (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.

Acquisition Method Suffix Code: (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.

Acquisition Method Suffix Code: (AMSC): D - The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

Acquisition Method Suffix Code: (AMSC): Z - This part is a commercial/ non-developmental/ off-the-shelf item. Commercial item descriptions, commercial vendor catalog or price lists or commercial manuals assigned a technical manual number apply. If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are available, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

4. Authority Cited: The Statutory authority for 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."

5. Reason for Authority Cited: During the technical review of the thirty-nine (39) items described in paragraph 3 above, it was determined for each item that the Government does not have competitive Tech Data Packages at this time that can be used to compete these requirements, and there is no process underway, or funding by which competition can be technically supported in a responsible time frame. To date, DRS has designed, manufactured and fielded all of these items and any previous spares in existence, meeting contractual deadlines consistently. It is estimated to obtain competitive technical data that it would cost overall $5,375,000 and take an additional 3 years after which a breakout contractor would need 3 years to qualify, and an additional 2 years for production. It should be noted that during this process, there is no guarantee that a breakout contractor’s process would successfully manufacture suitable production items, or that the follow-on production would meet any deadlines.

Additionally, qualification of another contractor would not recover the various costs incurred in the processes of this competition for this final purchase. At this time there are no alternative responsible contractors for these items.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: As addressed above, DRS owns all technical data rights for these items. Reverse Engineering is the only recourse the USG could entertain. No efforts to obtain competition for this acquisition will be taken for the reasons stated above. Complete Level III TDPs, suitable for competition, are not available for purchase. Further, there is no funding to qualify a new vendor. There are no vendors currently in the process of being qualified. There are no current or planned efforts to qualify any additional sources for the reasons listed above, including the fact that there is no funding for this effort. The USG would not be able to conduct reverse engineering efforts at this time. Although this procurement will be restricted to the above source, every effort will be made to obtain potential sources by synopsis and posting to the FedBizOpps website. Interested sources can obtain approval via the Source Approval Program with the TACOM Competition Management Office (CMO).

7. Actions to Increase Competition: As indicated in paragraph 5 above, The government does not have a means of obtaining adequate information in a responsible time frame, and it should also be noted that funding for such an effort is not presently available. Additionally if funding were to become available it would take an additional 36 months and $5,375,000 for a competitive TDP to be developed, and another 60 months to obtain spares from a breakout vendor. It should be noted that no cost savings would be realized as the fielded quantities are very small.

8. Market Research: The assigned engineering office, RDAR-EIS-CM, conducted computer based market research on the items as specified below. None of the research resulted in the identification of any new sources of supply.
