DLA CONTRACTING ACTIVITY: HUNTSVILLE DLA AVIATION

AMENDMENT 01

PR: D17H0223D1 NSN: 5960 01 490 7030

PN: 11472532 1 NOUN: TRAVELING WAVE TUBE

Amended TOTAL POTENTIAL CONTRACT VALUE: $

I. STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

Amendment 01 relies upon 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302 1(a)(2) stated in the original Justification and Approval, dated 09 April 2018 for the purchase of Traveling Wave Tube, NSN: 5960 01 490 7030, Part Number: 11472532 1, Patriot Weapon System.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION FOR REQUESTED APPROVAL

This amendment relies upon the statutory and regulatory authority recited in the original J&A and the purchase is Sole Source to Raytheon Company, Cage Code 05716. Amendment 01 is necessary because:

1) The original J&A listed sources, L 3 Communications Electron Technologies, Inc., Cage Code 73293, and Raytheon Company, Cage Code 05716. While the TDPL dated 6/14/2017 requested sole source to L 3 Communications Electron Technologies, Inc. (L 3), a subsequent Post Award & Intercept Database (PAID), Action ID# 17930, cited that L 3 did not own all the technology rights and could not perform the acceptance tests required; Thus, a PAID Action ID #17930, dated 20 October 2017 requested sole source to Raytheon Cage Code 05716. The original J&A retained L 3 and Raytheon as limited approved sources, when in actuality it should have reflected sole source to Raytheon Cage Code 05716. However, the solicitation was never sent to L 3 Communications Electron Technologies, Inc. Even though the original J&A states that L 3 as a known supply source was no longer applicable, this amendment corrects the erroneous inclusion of L 3 on the original J&A document.

2) Furthermore, because the price of 20 units each for NSN: 5960 01 490 7030 has increased from the original erroneous estimated total contract value of (based on 2011 prices), to a revised estimated total contract value of (based on the offeror’s proposed price and the Government’s price analysis), which requires approval by the Head of Contracting for the Agency (HCA), this Amendment 01 provides the HCA’s approval for the sole source to Raytheon for the total contract estimated value of . In further explanation, the estimated value of the total contract increased substantially above the original amount approved in the J&A by the Competition Advocate, because the amount approved in the original J&A relied upon pricing from 2011 (7 years ago) and did not account for price increases due to inflation and other factors. Therefore, upon receipt of the sole offeror’s certified pricing data and the Government’s price analysis of said pricing, the amended total estimated value of this contract has increased to an amount that now exceeds the

Contract Number: SPRRA2-18-C-0061 Solicitation Number: SPRRA2-18-R-0008 original approval authority’s approval jurisdiction; therefore, and the dollar value of the amended total estimated contract value now requires the J&A be amended and approved by the HCA.

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

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS DEEMED PRACTICABLE

VI. CONTRACTING OFFICER’S CERTIFICATION
