Description
The Government intends to issue a sole source procurement to Firstmark Aerospace Corporation, CAGE: 3BMV1. Under authority 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) and implemented in FAR 6.302-l(b)(l), to try to develop this “asset" would incur costs that are not expected to be recouped through competition. Any attempt to procure a different part number would require the Government to fund a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) Critical Design Review (CDR) First Article Test (FAT) and Test & Evaluation (T&E) effort for a new vendor. The Government would have to fund personnel to be on the Source Selection Team to review proposals. Any change in form, fit or function would require changes to the existing Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) (technical publications, spares inventory, calibration) which would incur additional costs for update in the amount of $150,000 to $200,000. The process required to obtain an alternate asset is cost-prohibitive and would force the FMS Partner to utilize an asset that is not supported, compatible or interchangeable with the USN-approved configuration. Hence, the FMS partner would forfeit the fundamental benefits granted per the signed Letter of Acceptance (LOA).
This requirement will be processed under the authority 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Market Research was performed by the Lakehurst Technical team. The only known manufacturer of this item is Firstmark Aerospace Corporation, CAGE: 3BMV1. Firstmark Aerospace Corporation owns all of the proprietary rights to the engineering data and detailed product drawings. No other vendors were identified through market research. Additionally, the Standby Compass Calibrator Test Set has an Acquisition Method Code of 3D, stating the data needed to produce this item from additional sources is not physically available.
