1.20 J&A_SPRMM1-26-Q-ME29_JF_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy's DLA Maritime division in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, authorizing a single-source contract award for the acquisition of spare valve globe components.

The contracting action covers the procurement of 17 valve globe units (NSN 4810-01149997, P/N 62724) with an expected final delivery date of August 3, 2026. The sole source justification is based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1), permitting acquisition from a limited number of responsible sources. The acquisition will be solicited directly to GRISWOLD INDUSTRIES (CAGE 86184), identified as the only known source capable of satisfying the requirement due to exclusive data and rights to the item. The Government determined it uneconomical to purchase or engineer the data elsewhere, and no authorized substitutes exist. Fair and reasonable cost will be determined through historical pricing analysis, Producer Price Index evaluation, and learning curve analysis. The document indicates no previous J&A was issued for this item under the Small Business Administration contracting authority. A Sources Sought notice was posted government-wide but did not generate sufficient competition, resulting in simplified procedures for this single-source award. Actions to promote future competition include encouraging vendors to submit complete technical data packages for engineering approval and advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry.
