About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition for the procurement of a TWT Tri-Band item. The J&A cites the statutory authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1) which allows contracting with only one or a limited number of responsible sources. The rationale is that the government does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase or contract repair of this part from additional sources, and it would be uneconomical to acquire the data or reverse engineer the part. Market research indicated that the only known sources for this item are the contractors listed in the document. A sources sought notice was previously published, but no additional vendors expressed interest. The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable. Future requirements will be advertised to promote competition, and the agency will assess whether competition is feasible if additional sources emerge.

History
The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.
To promote competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the subject item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval by the appropriate engineering source approval authority per the (WSS) guidelines. Also, future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry. For reasons set forth in Paragraph (5 & 6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item covered by this document. If another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. Also, future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
