Demonstration that the Contractor's Unique Qualification or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above The item in paragraph 3 requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. The Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) Breakout Engineers have assigned the Acquisition Method Reason Code (AMRC) "3N" thereby requiring the item to be procured directly from the actual manufacturer. This acquisition is restricted to the manufacturer ofthe part requiring special test and/or inspection facilities. Breakout Engineering has assigned Acquisition Method Code (AMC) "3", which states, "Acquire for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer" and Acquisition Method Suffix Codes "N" states, "Manufacture of the part requires special test and/or facilities to determine and maintain ultra-precision quality for its function or system integrity." Accordingly, Raytheon Company is the only firm capable of providing the supplies and services described in Paragraph 3 above without the warfighter experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements. 6. Description of Efforts Made to Ensure That Offers Are Solicited From As Many Potential Sources As Deemed Practicable This requirement will be synopsized on Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) as required by FAR 5.201.

Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition This OEM is not willing to sell data rights to the Government, which means the technical data package, specification, and engineering description suitable for Full and Open Competition cannot be developed without reverse engineering. The Government has determined that reverse engineering is cost prohibitive. Procurement history below: PIIN EFF.
