About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS (Naval Supply Weapons Systems Support) in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania for the procurement of switching units and power supplies.
The acquisition covers 42 spares of switching units/power supplies (NSN 6110015622995, P/N M32150-A40XXXX) from L3HARRIS MARITIME POWER & ENERGY SOLUTIONS INC (CAGE Code 04801), the original equipment manufacturer. The justification is based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The A/RMC code 3 rationale applies because the Government does not own the data or rights necessary to purchase or repair this item from additional sources, and it has been determined uneconomical to acquire such data or reverse engineer the part. Market research was conducted using ITIMP, FLIS, and ERP databases with search criteria including part number, NSN, nomenclature, cage code, and design control activity; no alternative sources were identified. The acquisition was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on May 29, 2024, and no other vendors submitted quotes. A 15 MAR 2019 Class Waiver applies to the requirement to post a Request for Information or Sources Sought notice. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. The document includes certifications and approvals from the Reprocurement Technician (02/07/2023), Requirements Planner (02/16/2023), Technical Cognizance (02/15/2023), KO Small Business Review (05/02/2024), Contracting Officer Supervisor (06/24/2024), Competition Advocate (08/05/2024), Attorney (08/12/2024), and final Competition Advocate approval per FAR 6.304 (08/16/2024). NAVSUP WSS indicated plans to continue encouraging alternative vendors to submit technical data packages for source approval and will advertise future requirements on the government-wide point of entry.

It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.
