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.

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 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. Only United Technologies Corporation owns the rights to use the data. Any other listed in Section 10 are all licensed vendors of United Technologies Corporation. Any source wishing to qualify as a vendor for this item must seek approval from United Technologies Corporation, who is the sole authority in approving additional sources. Similarly, any attempt by the Government to overcome this barrier to competition must go solely through United Technologies Corporation. Drawing 548191 is proprietary to United Technologies Corporation.

This item is a highly specialized component ofa major weapon system; accordingly, the contractors listed possess unique capabilities derived from knowledge and expertise gained during previous productions of this item.

The development of an additional source to produce this item is not feasible within allowable timeframes, and for this reason the current procurement effort cannot be delayed. Delays in new procurement have the potential of disrupting the availability of TF33 engines, leaving the Air Force unable to meet critical mission requirements. For these reasons, the contractors listed in Section 10 are the only sources capable of providing the supplies described in Section 3 without the Government experiencing unacceptable delays 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.

In accordance with FAR 5.201, this requirement shall be synopsized and the Request for Proposal will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website.

The contracting officer will ensure that the items described herein are negotiated at a fair and reasonable price to the Government. The contractor may be required to provide certified cost or pricing data. A detailed cost analysis and price analysis may be accomplished. The Defense Contract Management Agency may be contacted to assist with the analysis.

Market research, in accordance with Far Part 10, was conducted by inquiry of Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, and the Thomas Register and ended 27 August 2018. This research revealed that there is not a commercial item available to meet this requirement. The item described in Section 3 is use in military applications and no commercial or non-developmental substitutes are available.

A Sources Sought Synopsis was also conducted during the market research effort described above to notify Pratt & Whitney licensees, vendors, or other sources with access to the necessary data of the pending acquisition. This posting was created on the FedBizOps website on 20 August 2018 under the PR number FD2030-19-00497 with a response date of 27 August 2018. No interested sources requested consideration.

Based on the above, a high level of confidence exists that Pratt & Whitney is currently the only responsible source able to fulfill the 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.
