This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document for NAVSUP WSS-Mechanicsburg.

The Department of the Navy seeks to acquire 23 antenna group units (Part Number G167737-2, NSN 5985 015092513) for repair/overhaul purposes. The estimated contract value is $2,001,000.00 with a unit price of $87,000.00 per antenna group. The expected final delivery date is October 11, 2027. The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS at 5450 Carlisle Pike, PO Box 2020, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055-0788, with Logan Mann serving as the Contract Specialist.

The J&A justifies a non-competitive procurement under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) based on the authority that only one responsible source can satisfy requirements. The approved source is VERTEX MODERNIZATION & SUSTAINMENT 96JAU, identified as the OEM and sole source possessing unique expertise and technical data rights required for antenna repair and maintenance. The Government does not own data or rights to the data necessary to purchase repair services from additional sources, and reversing the engineer would be uneconomical. Market research was conducted through government databases (ITIMP, MBPS, FLIS) and identified Cage Code 78062 (SARGENT AEROSPACE & DEFENSE LLC) as the only known approved manufacturing source. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. No future competition barriers have been identified at this time.
