JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SPRDL1-18-R-0506

1. Contracting Activity: The Contracting Activity for this action is the Defense Logistics Agency-Warren (DLA-WRN)

2. Description of Action: The proposed action is to award a new contract with 100% option for Inertial Navgation Unit (P/N: HG9740AJ3/0BFA5/3/2, NSN: 6605-01-522- 1649) for the M95/M96 MFC. Competition will be limited to Honeywell (CAGE Code:

0BFA5). The contract is anticipated to be awarded to Honeywell International with an estimated value of utilizing Army Working Capital Funds (AWCF).

3. Description of Supplies/Services:

The Inertial Navigation Unit (INU) is a self-contained navigation system that utilizes accelerometers and gyroscopes to track vehicle position, velocity and acceleration. It interfaces with various host vehicle electronic assemblies {i.e. Global Positioning System (GPS), Vehicle Motion Sensor (VMS), etc.} and reconciles all data available to eliminate as much instantaneous positional error as possible. The data generated by the INU is then used within the vehicle, for instance to support waypoint navigation, and is available for remote tracking purposes with other external networks. The INU provides a significant improvement over stand alone GPS navigation systems because GPS signals can be inaccurate depending on the number of functioning satellites available, the possibility of jamming, and the possibility of satellite signals that are otherwise corrupted. Since the INU does not rely on external input to establish its position, it is immune to jamming or interference from the enemy. This increased capability to accurately navigate and determine position greatly enhances the ability of command and control on the battlefield of today and in the future. As a result, the INU provides the Soldier with increased levels of lethality, situational awareness, sustainability, and survivability.

The M95 inertial navigation unit (Talin) is installed in all M1064, AMPV Mortar Carrier Vehicles, and Stryker Mortar Carrier Vehicles.

NSN NOMENCLATURE P/N

6605-01-522-1649 Inertial Navigation Unit 12992823/ CAGE Code:

19200

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

8. Market Research:

The ARDEC Systems Engineer for Mortar Fire Control System performed market research by completing an internet search for same/similar items May 1, 2018.

Utilizing various internet searches no similar direct replacement Inertial Navigation Units were located. It was determined that commercial items and non-developmental items were not available which would meet the Government’s needs; furthermore, no items were found that could be modified to meet the Government’s needs. The market research indicated the Government exclusively requires Honeywell’s INUs for its purposes.

It was also determined that customary practices regarding customizing, modifying, or tailoring of items similar to Honeywell’s INUs would not be able to meet the need of the Government.

The market research did not identify any requirements of law or regulation which were unique to the INUs, or if it contained recovered materials and was energy efficient.

The size and status of potential sources and whether their distribution and logistical capabilities could support the supplying of INUs could not be determined because no sources were identified during the market research; therefore, item cost estimates and times of delivery were not available.

9. Interested Sources:

A Sources Sought Notice for this NSN was requested on July 10th, 2018. To date, no sources have written to express interest, nor has the Government identified any other source possessing an interest in being an alternate source for this NSN. The notices required by FAR 5.201 have been published and any other bid or proposals received will be considered.

Sources Sought Notice: 2018-637 Item Name: Inertial Navigation Unit

NSN: 6605-01-522-1649

Posted Date: Tuesday July 10, 2018

(Sources Sought provided separately)

To date, no other sources have expressed an interest in writing.

10. Other Facts: Discuss any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition, such as the following:

a. Procurement history

(1) Contractor: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL Contract #: W56HZV11D0160/VD04 CLIN: 0001AA Qty.: 75 Date:5/15/2012

Competitive Status: Sole-source Authority: FAR 6.302-1

Contractor: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL Contract #: W52H0907D0285/0046 CLIN: 0046 Qty.: 115 Date:01/14/2010

Competitive Status: Sole-source Authority: FAR 6.302-1

(2) Competitive status of these actions.

Other than full and open

(3) Authority previously used for less than full and open competition.

FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source

(4) If any prior award was accomplished by full and open competition, a detailed explanation of the changed circumstances.

Item never competed

(5) An explanation of any unusual patterns which may be revealed by the history, e.g., several consecutive, urgent buys.

No unusual pattern

(6) If a justification was prepared to support the procurement made before this one, briefly describe the circumstances justifying the buy and whether there have been any significant changes.

Competitive data was not available for a competitive procurement. Honeywell International continues to be the sole owner of the drawings and technical data rights, and the Government does not own proprietary rights to the TDP that would be required to produce a competitive TDP.

There are no significant changes since last procurement.

(previous J&A provided separately)

b. Acquisition data availability:

A certified competitive Technical Data Package/performance specification is not available for this item as the item was developed at the above source’s expense.

Therefore, such data is considered proprietary to the above source. Since the above source owns all of the proprietary data rights, the competitive data is not available for a competitive procurement process.

Additionally, the Government did not fund the supplier to prepare a fully detailed TDP after approval. As such, the supplier is the sole owner of the drawings and technical data rights and the Government does not own proprietary rights to the TDP that would be required to produce a competitive TDP.

The lack of data makes it necessary to procure this item on a non-competitive basis from the listed source.

c. Unusual and compelling urgency:

N/A

d. Subcontracting competition: Efforts will be made during negotiations of the long-term contract to obtain increased small business subcontracting opportunities throughout the life of the contract. The objective will be to increase Honeywell's goal for small business subcontracting, as well as increases in all categories of small businesses, to include Women Owned Small Business, Veteran Owned Small Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business and HUBZone Small Business. Also, the contract will include the clauses "Utilization of Small Business Concerns" FAR 52.219-8 and "Small Business Subcontracting Plan" FAR 52.219-9.

11. Technical Certification: I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance which are included in the justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Approval Authority for Acquisitions Equal to or Greater Than $700,000.
