Eligibility & Justification
This acquisition is justified as other than full and open competition based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The specific reasons for the sole-source approach include:
- The part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity (AMSC C).
- The Government lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part from sources other than the current one (AMSC H).
- The acquisition is restricted to Government-approved sources due to military-sensitive technology (AMSC S).
Market Research & Competition Efforts
A market survey was conducted, identifying only one approved source, and no other firms expressed interest. Despite the sole-source justification, efforts are being made to overcome barriers to competition by posting the requirement to DIBBS and including provisions for alternate offers and Source Approval Requests (SAR) in the solicitation.
Submission & Evaluation
- Solicitation Number: SPE4A626R0024
