This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for a Department of the Navy contract action.

The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS – Philadelphia, with Folder # 24031-0003 and PD # N0038324U1809 N0038324U3770. The procurement is for repair/overhaul of a LAPS ASSEMBLY (NSN 5340-01-693-2565, P/N 708899-1) under a single-source award to an OEM identified as the sole source with required technical data and repair capability. The item is classified as a Critical Application Item (CAI), and the document indicates Meggit is the only approved repair source listed in JDRS with the technical data necessary to repair, test, and certify the item prior to unit delivery. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The rationale cites A/RMSC category C, requiring engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality and unique design capability. Market research conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10 identified the OEM as the sole source, with no additional sources expressing interest even after a re-synopsis period. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and NAVSUP WSS plans to encourage future competition by continuing to engage vendors and advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry. The document was created on 03/14/2024 and received final contracting officer certification on 04/24/2025.
