Other:

Manufacture of this part requires special test and/or inspection facilities to maintain function or system integrity The rights to use the data needed to purchase this part from additional source(s) are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained.

The Government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both. It is not economical to buy the data or rights to thedata.

The Government does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase this part from another source. It is not economical to procure the data or rights to the data Acquisition of this item is restricted to Government approved source(s) because the item involves military sensitive technology.

The cost to the Government to breakout this part and acquire it competitively has been determined to exceed the projected savings over the life span of the part.

This part has been designated a high reliability part. Probability of failure would be unacceptable. The engineering activity has determined that data to define and control reliability limits cannot be obtained.

The design of this part is unstable. Engineering, manufacturing, or performance characteristics indicate that the required design objectives have not been achieved.

The Government does not possess the process data or the necessary resources to manufacture this part to fulfill customer requirements. This part is a commercial/ non developmental/off the shelf item. Currently, Woodward, Inc is the only known source for this item. This item is a highly specialized component of an engine assigned to a major weapon system; accordingly, Woodward, Inc possesses unique capabilities derived from knowledge and expertise gained during previous productions of this item.

No other sources have been qualified for this item. Air Force does not possess engineering/drawing data or data rights to qualify an additional source. No qualification requirements can be stated or created for this item, as Air Force has no data available to create them. Woodward, Inc, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for this item, has been contacted and will not give their technical manufacturing data to the Government.

Accordingly Woodward, Inc is the only responsible source capable of providing the items described in Section III above.

6. Efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable are:

The acquisition will be synopsized on or about_______________and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one.

A synopsis exception cited in FAR 5.202 applies: (Explain).

Manufacturers of similar products identified in the market survey will be solicited.

Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited.

Other: (Explain)

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. (Explain)

8. A market survey as defined by FAR 10:

was conducted, and firms indicating an interest in the acquisition will be solicited. Market research efforts, include.

14-Nov-2016

The contracting officer will complete a price analysis. In determining price reasonableness, the contracting officer may rely on information such as established catalog or market prices or, if necessary, information other than cost and pricing data from the potential source. The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) may be contacted to assist with the price analysis, if necessary.

Market research, in accordance with FAR Part 10, was conducted including inquires of available Air Force data systems, such as Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, and Thomas Register. This research revealed that Woodward is the only approved source for this part.

A Sources Sought Synopsis was also conducted during the market research effort to notify GE licensees, vendors, or other potential sources of this requirement. This posting was created on the FedBizOpps website on 5 Aug 16 under Purchase Request Number FD2030-17-00226 with a response date of 11 Aug 16. No interested sources submitted source approval packages to be considered.

Based on the above, a high level of confidence exists that Woodward is currently the only responsible source able to fulfill this requirement.

was not conducted due to:

9. Additional facts supporting other than full and open competition are:

Based upon the technical certification on file, technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.

When FAR 6.302-1 is cited for follow-on acquisitions as described in 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), an estimate if the cost to the Government that would be duplicated and how the estimate was derived.
