This justification supports a sole-source award for 24 units of the specified valve, citing limited data rights and the absence of competitive responses to a prior sources sought notice.

Additional Notes
The agency has determined that the necessary technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The available data reflects the minimum needs of the Government. Efforts to overcome barriers to competition include regular inquiries to manufacturers regarding proprietary data rights and analysis of reverse engineering feasibility.
