IV. STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, , Only Limited Responsible Sources exist to provide these supplies and No Other Supplies Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

V. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTORS’ UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE

ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE

The Aviation and Missile Research, Development Engineering Center (AMRDEC) Breakout Engineers have assigned the Acquisition Method Reason Code (AMRC) “1B” thereby restricting the manufacture of the item from only the approved sources. The approved sources have the unique design capability, engineering skills and manufacturing knowledge to produce the items.

Breakout Engineering has assigned Acquisition Method Code (AMC) “1”, which states, “Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.” And the Acquisition Method Suffix Code “B” states, “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.

Accordingly, Sikorsky and CMC are the only known firms approved to provide the supplies described in Paragraph 3 above without the warfighter experiencing unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements.

VI. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS DEEMED PRACTICABLE

This requirement will be synopsized on Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) as required by FAR

5.201. The extent of competition anticipated is the source identified in paragraph II and VIII. In an effort to obtain maximum competition, the synopsis will encourage firms/suppliers that recognize and can produce the item described in paragraph 3 to identify themselves.

The synopsis will encourage firms/suppliers to seek source approval in order to compete for future solicitations by accessing the AMCOM Competition Management Office website and looking under Standardized Aviation and Missile Source Approval Request (SAMSAR). Improving the competitive status of acquisition include review and screening under the procedures of the DOD Spare Parts Breakout Program, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Procedures, Guidance and Information (PGI) 217.7506.

A Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) in support of Market Research was conducted by the Defense Logistics Agency to identify potential manufacturing/supply sources, and if future efforts can be competitive or Set- Aside for Small Business. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 334511 which have a corresponding Size Standard of 1,250 employees. The SSS was posted on 25 June 2018 to notified companies that the Defense Logistics Agency, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, was seeking qualified sources for the acquisition referenced in paragraph III. No responses were received.

VII. DETERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE

GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE

The overall cost of this acquisition will be fair and reasonable to the Government. The contractor will be required to provide cost or pricing data pursuant to FAR Part 15.4 to support its proposed pricing. The proposed pricing may be negotiated in accordance with the procedures found in FAR Part 15. Based on the foregoing, the Contracting Officer hereby determines the anticipated contractual price to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

VIII. DESCRIPTION OF THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND THE RESULTS, OR STATEMENT OF THE

REASONS MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED

Market Research as defined in FAR 10.001 was conducted on knowledge of individuals within the requirements community. This item was listed and appeared in the Competition Advocate Shopping List database as of 31 March 2018. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on 25 June 2018 and no responses were received. In the event a potential candidate had identified themselves, the Source Approval Request (SARS) would be reviewed and a determined if the vendor’s technical capabilities meet the requirements to manufacture the item. It has been determined that the Government's need cannot be met by an item available in the commercial marketplace; therefore, FAR Part 12 will not be used.

IX. ANY OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THE USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

The Technical Justification and Certifications (J&Cs) state full screening has been completed and that competition cannot be improved at this time for reasons of lack of sources. Re-screening will occur prior to the expiration date of the AMC/AMRC and no orders will be issued until after the AMC/AMRC has been re-validated. The AMRC expiration date is 02 July 2023. There is no pending Source Approval Request (SARs) on this NSN.

This OEM is not willing to sell data rights to the Government, which means the technical data package, specification, and engineering description suitable for Full and Open Competition cannot be developed without reverse engineering. The Government has determined that reverse engineering is cost prohibitive.

The technical factors supporting the recommendation for other than full and open competitive acquisition are based on review and analysis information residing in the Commodity Command Standard

System National Stock Number Maintenance Data Record and the Aviation Acquisition Engineering Part Number Files.

X. LIST OF SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE ACQUISITION
