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 negotiated with

L-3 Communications Avionics Sys (25583)

L-3 Communications Avionics Sys (25583) is the only valid source of manufacture approved by NAVAIR PMA-265 at this time. No other commercial manufacture facilities have the expertise, facilities or the test equipment necessary to manufacture the referenced item.

The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate or legible data to contract manufacture with other than the current source. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's (NAVAIR) procedures, as approved by the cognizant government engineering activity-NAVAIR.

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

1/08/2018 and as a result

No other sources have expressed an interest in this requirement.

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

1/08/2018 and as a result

No other sources have expressed an interest in this requirement.

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:

Currently the only approved manufacturing source of supply for the L-3 Communications Avionics Sys (25583). A criticality determination for this item has not yet been entered into JDRS. However, L-3 Communications Avionics Sys (25583) is the OEM and approved manufacturing source for this subject item. Available data including all publications, supporting test equipment availability and associated drawings and specifications required to manufacture the subject item has not been found adequate 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 manufacturing facilitates 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. Also future requirements will be advertised in the FedBizOps website (www.fedbizops.gov) in order to encourage potential suppliers to submit Source Approval Requests.

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:

For reasons set forth in paragraphs (5) & (6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/ services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. Also future requirements will be advertised in the FedBizOps website (www.fedbizops.gov).
