SUBPART 6.3 OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

6.303-2 Content

(a)(11) (Detailed policy guidance for Product Specialists is provided in the DLA Technical-Quality Policy and Procedures Deskbook, which is maintained by the Technical and Quality Policy Division, J-3YP-TQ, and can be accessed electronically at https://today.dla.mil/j-3/j-334/TechQualDeskbookPDF.pdf.). During the normal technical review of all National Stock Numbers (NSNs) being considered for new Long Term Contracts (LTCs), all recommended NSNs with an AMSC of A or H are to be reviewed in accordance with DFARS PGI 217.7506 and assigned a more permanent AMSC prior to solicitation. Those NSNs that can not be assigned a more permanent AMSC should be removed from consideration for the LTC until a more permanent AMSC can be assigned, or the Contracting Officer (CO) must justify the reason(s) initial screening of the AMSC coding for the NSN(s) did not result in a resolution or appropriate code and reasons why it should be included on the LTC. Because these are temporary codes, the justification must be concurred with by the contracting activity Competition Advocate for locally-approved justifications. Any items with these codes that are included on the LTC should be reviewed within 12 months of the initial coding to determine whether an appropriate permanent AMSC can be assigned. If this cannot be accomplished for AMSC A, then continue to review on an annual basis for resolution and appropriate coding. If an appropriate permanent AMSC cannot be assigned for AMSC H coded items within the later of one year of the J&A or one year of placement on a contract covered by a J&A, the CO shall remove the items from the contract.

(a)(90)

(6)(a) Note: When the J&A will include items coded AMSC A and/or H, the following shall be inserted:

(1) Items identified by AMSC A or H on long term contracts are subject to review for possible assignment of a different or permanent AMSC. These items shall be continually reviewed, not less than annually, in part to determine if technical data is available to allow for assignment of a more permanent AMSC. Any item determined to be competitively available before contract award will be removed from the acquisition. Any item determined to be competitively available after contract award may be deleted from the contract and competitively re-solicited.

(2) The results of the reviews and reclassification actions for AMSC A and H items will be reported by the Contracting Officer to the local Competition Advocate, and may be reported to HQ, DLA Competition Advocate, J-72, in accordance with HQ requirements.

(3) If the review of an item classified as AMSC H does not result in the assignment of a more permanent AMSC within the later of one year of approval of this justification or one year of the item’s placement on a contract covered by this justification, the Contracting Officer shall remove the item from the contract.

[Note: Add the following when the initial award under the J&A will not include all items covered by the J&A:]

(4) To add other sole source parts covered by this justification to the initial award items identified in [insert section number], the review process described in an attachment to this justification must demonstrate that the parts are sole source to [insert name of contractor] at the time they are proposed for addition.
