Sources Sought for LTC

DLA Land and Maritime is preparing to solicit a long term contract for the NSNs listed in the attached spreadsheet.  Also shown are the currently approved manufacturer(s) and associated part numbers for these items.   

AMSC C.  Part(s) requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part(s).

AMSC D.  No technical data on item(s) and data cannot be obtained economically.

AMSC H.  Government does not have sufficient, accurate or legible data to purchase part from other than the current source. 

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

AMSC P.  Rights to data is not owned by Govt. and cannot be purchased, developed or otherwise obtained.

AMSC Q.  The Government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both needed to purchase this part from additional sources.  The Government has been unable to economically buy the data or rights to the data, although the part has been undergoing full screening for 12 or more months.  Breakout to competition has not been achieved, but current, continuing actions to obtain necessary rights to data or adequate, reprocurement technical data indicate breakout to competition is expected to be achieved.  This part may be a candidate for reverse engineering or other techniques to obtain technical data. 

AMSC R.  Govt. does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase this part from another source and it has been determined not to be economically feasible to procure the data or rights to the data.

AMSC V.  This part has been designated a high reliability part under a formal reliability program.  Probability of failure would be unacceptable from the standpoint of safety of personnel and/or equipment.  The cognizant engineering activity has determined that data to define and control reliability limits cannot be obtained nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications for this purpose.

Sources interested in offering other than the approved/genuine CAGE and part number(s) listed in the attachment should complete the attached market survey and return the completed copy to Adam Speert at adam.speert@dla.mil by August 13, 2012.
