1. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

2. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time.

3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer

4. Acquire, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer.

5. Acquire directly from a sole source contractor which is not the actual manufacturer

C

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/repair knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition/repair of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing/repair 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, A/RMCs 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, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

Multiple Method Codes

This acquisition will be solicited to

Northrop Grumman

Only the above will be solicited because the articles to be acquired are highly specialized parts, designed and manufactured by a non- Government activity and the technical data required for manufacture by other than the above is not available and no value added other than the above source. Northrop (76823) is the only commercial manufacture source available for the subject part. The data needed to fully complete contract the manufacture is not physically available, and cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the manufacture for a competitive solicitation. In addition no available data including manufacture manuals, associated drawings and specifications, and supporting test equipment availability required to accomplish the manufacture of the subject part number have not been found adequate to support full and open competition. Any additional sources must acquire engineering source approval from the DCA (NAVAIR) prior to contract award.

6. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO SOLICIT OFFERS FROM AS MANY OFFERORS AS PRACTICABLE: A Request for Information / Sources Sought Notice was entered on the FedBizOpps website for government-wide point of entry on

3/26/19 and as a result no unanticpated offers were received

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the FedBizOpps website for government-wide point of entry on

3/26/19 and as a result no unanticpated offers were received

Market Research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10. The results of the Market Research conducted (or the reason(s) Market Research was not conducted) are as follows:

All alternate sources must qualify IAW the design control activity's procedures, as approved by NAVAIR prior to contract award. Available data including all publications, supporting test equipment availability and associated drawings and specifications required to manufacture the subject item are not available to purchase from other than the current approved source of manufacture is Northrop (76823). Data review discloses that all the manufacturing data including all manufacturing manuals, publications, associated drawings and specifications required to manufacture and maintain the quality of the subject item are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. Without the manufacturing data it is not possible for any other source to manufacture the subject item. No other company has access to the manufacturing data that would enable them to manufacture the subject item. The government does not possess the manufacturing data necessary to support full and open competition. No other sources have currently expressed an interest in becoming an approved manufacturing source for the subject item to the Source Development Department. To promote competition the NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage manufacturers with the expertise to manufacture the subject item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval by the appropriate engineering source approval authority per the (WSS) guidelines.

The available technical data is insufficient for the development of new sources. Source Development Department files indicate no Source Approval Request (SAR) has been received from any party interested in becoming an approved source. Northrop Grumman (76823) is the only approved source at this time.

7. DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COST:

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. ACTIONS TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO FUTURE COMPETITION:

To promote competition the NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the subject item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval by the appropriate engineering source approval authority per the (WSS) guidelines. Also future requirements will be advertised in the FedBizOps website (www.fedbizops.gov) in order to encourage potential vendors to submit Source Approval Requests. For reasons set forth in Paragraph (5 & 6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item covered by this document. If another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
