The use of authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) is based on:

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

AMC 2. Suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time.

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

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

AMC 5. Acquire directly from the sole source contractor, who is not the manufacturer.

AMSC A. The Government’s right to use data in its possession is questionable. This code is under review and will be updated when the review is complete.

AMSC B. This must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control drawing.

AMSC C. This part required engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part.

AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part is not economically available.

AMSC H. The Government does not have sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part from other than the current source. This code is under review and will be updated when the review is complete.

AMSC K. This part must be produced from class 1 castings under MIL-STD-2175.

AMSC L. The annual buy value of this part falls below the screening threshold established by DoD.

AMSC M. Manufacture of this part requires use of master or coordinated tooling.

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.

Drawing 1960M40 from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for this item, General Electric Corp. Cage Code 07482, is a source control 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. In addition, the Source Control Drawing itself is complete, but the Government doesn’t possess the required technical data or data rights to build this item and it cannot be economically obtained.

General Electric Company is the only source listed on the source control drawing. They possess the unique capabilities derived from knowledge and expertise gained through previous production of this item. This item is a highly specialized component of a major weapon system; accordingly, General Electric Company possesses unique capabilities derived from knowledge and expertise gained during previous productions of this item. The development of this item by an additional source would expend substantial Government funds for start-up equipment, training and allocation of facilities. At this time, it is not economically feasible for the Government to fund a new source development; therefore, GE is the only source capable of providing the supplies described in paragraph 3 without the Government experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition, and unacceptable costs in fulfilling agency requirements.

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.

25-Aug-2017

The buyer will complete a price analysis. If the proposed dollar amount exceeds the TINA threshold IAW FAR 15.403-4 , certified cost or pricing data will be required and a detailed cost analysis will be accomplished. Support from the Defense Contract Management Agency or the Defense Contract Audit Agency may be requested as appropriate to aid in evaluating the proposal.

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. The market research was completed on 15 April 16. This research revealed that this item is not a commercial-off-the-shelf item with known stock levels but rather a sole-source item which is only manufactured for approved requirements upon demand.

A Sources Sought Synopsis was also conducted during the market research effort to notify GE licensees, vendors, or other sources with access to the necessary data of the pending acquisition. This posting was created on the Federal Business Opportunities website on 25 July 2017 under FD2030-18-00165 with a response date of 2 August 2017. No interested sources requested consideration and no commercial or non-developmental substitutes are available.

Based on the above, a high level of confidence exists that GE 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.

Other:

10. A listing of sources, if any, indicating an interest in writing in the acquisition are: (if none, state none)

CAGE COMPANY NAME

11. The actions, being taken to overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition are made: (Explain)

Reverse engineering is not feasible within reasonable time constraints. The qualification of a reverse-engineered part would require an Accelerated Mission Test (AMT). F118 AMTs occur every 4 years and cost approximately $6M (this is the cost of the 2016 AMT) and would not occur until 2020.

None

The Government will continue to monitor the marketplace for potential sources. The Government will continue to synopsize the requirements for potential sources and periodically screen the item for changes in data and source availability.
