- PROCUREMENT SENSITIVE INFORMATION JUSTIFIATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION - DUFFEL, BAG NYLON 1. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), Directorate of Clothing & Textiles is the contracting activity. 2. The action being approved is the ability to solicit for DLA requirements on an other than full and open competition basis. 3. The following are the supplies required to meet DLA’s needs: Item: Duffel, Bag, Nylon PGC: 17632 NSN: 8465-01-117-8699 Quantity: 75,000 Each Unit Price: $18.71 Estimated Dollar Value: $1, 403,250.00 4. The applicable statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(2), FAR Part 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency. 5. The use of this authority is necessary to ensure a continuous supply of duffel bags for all incoming recruits and deploying troops during the upcoming summer months. The current supply situation is insufficient to meet the fluctuating demands for duffel bags. The fluctuation in demand for this item over the last year and a half has exceeded the production capacity of the current supplier of this item, SNC Telecommunications (SPM1C1-09-D-0014). The monthly demand in February 2008 was 44,231 and the monthly demand in May 2009 rose to 70,863, with a spike in demand of 92,662 in December 2008. Although SNC Telecommunications has been gradually increasing their monthly deliveries to 80,000 per month to meet demands, it was insufficient to avoid the current backorder situation. The proposed urgent procurement will augment the current supply situation and ensure a continuous supply of duffel bags until the first deliveries from a proposed long-term contract begins in September 2009. The current supply position of this item is as follows: Average Monthly Demand: 70,863 ea. Stock on Hand: 88,544 Backorders: 87,324 Due In: 267,000 The proposed urgent acquisition of 75,000 Duffel Bags will have a production lead-time of forty-five (45) days. Initial delivery for a quantity of 20,000 each is due 45 days after date of award, (two) monthly increments of 20,000 each, and another (one) monthly increment of 15,000 each. If this procurement is not awarded by 31 May 2009, DSCP will not be able to meet all customer demands because stock on hand from July thru October 2009 will only be at 0.2-0.3 months of stock. JUSTIFIATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION - DUFFEL, BAG NYLON Furthermore, if demand forecasts are higher than Manugistics projections, DSCP will not be able to meet customer demand and will have zero stock on hand from July through October 2009. The Army is the primary user and has various ship to locations, however, delivery orders will be issued to one delivery destination, Lion Vallen, who acts as a Third Party Logistics Center for the Clothing and Textile Supply chain and will expedite the receipt of goods and ship the required quantity to the customer. 6. Due to the unusual and compelling urgency, this acquisition will not be advertised in FedBizOpps as permitted by FAR 5.202(a)(2). The firm to be solicited for this exigency is a proven military supplier of Duffel Bags and numerous Clothing and Textile items required by DSCP: D. J. Manufacturing Corp. This firm has successfully manufactured this item for ten (10) years as an 8(a) contractor and more recently as a Subcontractor for SNC who is presently fulfilling the Governments requirements. 7..The undersigned Contracting Officer hereby determines that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based on price analyses and historical pricing (determined fair and reasonable from certified cost and pricing data). Cost and pricing information will not be required in accordance with FAR 15.403-1 (C ) (iii). 8. An informal market survey was conducted with the two proven Duffel Bag manufacturers, DJ Manufacturing Corp., and SNC Telecommunications. D.J.’s accelerated production capacity was obtained to guarantee coverage of the urgent requirement in the desired time frame. SNC stated they are at full capacity, per email dated 29 April 2009 and will not be able to provide coverage on this requirement. 9. There is no substitute item available. The Duffel Bag is an integral part of the Warfighter’s requirement and is used by deploying forces. The subject item is in a critical supply status due to the Army’s increased demands from FY 08 to FY 09. The current quantities on contract with SNC are inadequate to satisfy the supply deficit. Failure to provide this item will impair the Army’s combat readiness. 10. Only D.J. Manufacturing Corp. will be given the opportunity to offer on this procurement. There is insufficient time to conduct a formal market survey to determine if any other sources are capable of providing the end items in the required time period. 11. The quantity procured under this exigency acquisition is sufficient to satisfy the immediate requirement until deliveries are received from the proposed NISH contract. With the current 8(a) and proposed mandatory procurement due ins, requirements will be satisfied.
