Key Considerations
The Government's decision to pursue a sole source contract is based on the lack of data rights and the uneconomical nature of acquiring data or reverse engineering the part. While the Government is not using FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) for its solicitation, interested parties are encouraged to identify their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item. This acquisition may be subject to Free Trade Agreements (DFARS 252.225-7036) and World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement/Free Trade Agreements (DFARS 252.225-7021), if the respective clauses are included in the solicitation.
