The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 due to not owning the necessary data rights and the uneconomical nature of acquiring data or reverse engineering.

Key Considerations
The Government has determined it does not own the data or rights required to purchase/contract repair from additional sources, and it is uneconomical to acquire this data or reverse engineer the part. Market research indicates that FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) policies are not being used for this solicitation. The acquisition may be subject to Free Trade Agreements (DFARS clauses 252.225-7036 and/or 252.225-7021).

All responsible sources interested in responding to this requirement may identify their interest and capability, or submit proposals/quotations/capability statements.
