OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF AUTHORITY CITED

ABOVE (APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY):

A. The above authority was selected because the government does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources.

B. The 417 SCMS/GUEA Engineer contacted Goodrich Corporation on 28 APR 2016 regarding limited data rights status to NSN 1630012286043/Part Number 3-1192-1.

Goodrich Corporation is not willing to sell or provide government use rights to this data and is not willing to entertain the idea of providing a cost to the government to buy proprietary data. The 417 SCMS/GUEA also contacted Honeywell International Inc. on 28 APR 2016 regarding limited data rights status to NSN 1630012286043/Part Number 2600773-1.

Honeywell International Inc. is not willing to sell or provide government use rights to this proprietary data. Together, Goodrich Corporation and Honeywell International Inc. both own technical data sufficient to manufacture the parts and are both unwilling to sell or give permission to the government, to use such data for a competitive procurement. The government does not possess the design, data, or license rights required to allow full and open competition for the manufacture and procurement of the B-52 Landing Gear Wheel.

3. The 761 screening action for NSN 1630012286043/Part Number’s 3-1192-1 and

2600773-1 was reviewed for consistency and reasoning. No discrepancies were found and there are only two approved sources, Goodrich Corporation and Honeywell International Inc., because the government does not own the data or rights to the data.

B. The 417 SCMS/GUMB Integrated Product Team market research results indicate with a high level of confidence, that there are no additional sources capable of satisfying the agency’s need for this proprietary item nor are there any commercial or non-developmental items which could be utilized to meet needs or which could be modified to meet the needs.
