Set-Aside & Justification

This contract was awarded under Other Than Full and Open Competition, citing the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) (formerly FAR 6.302-1), which permits awards when supplies are available from only one or a limited number of sources. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice and market survey, confirmed that only one small business approved manufacturing source was identified. The justification cited multiple Approved Means for Source Selection (AMSC) codes, indicating reasons such as engineering source approval, unavailability of data, and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering. Only one response was received for the solicitation.
