About this file

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition to repair a Critical Application Item. The item, a FPMU stepup gearbox, requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality. The current sole approved repair source is Triumph Gear Systems (82402) who retains the necessary technical data and manufacturing/repair knowledge. The Navy does not possess sufficient rights to the technical data to solicit repair from other sources. A full and open competition is not supported. The proposed contract action was synopsized on April 30, 2024, and market research did not identify any additional qualified sources. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable. A class waiver for requesting information or sources sought was obtained. The contract was awarded on July 29, 2024 to an unknown vendor for an unknown amount.

This J&A is based upon the authority of 10 USC 3204(A) (1), only one or a limited number of responsible sources will satisfy agency requirements, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1

A/RMC 4

Acquire, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer.

A/RMSC C

This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition/repair of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing/repair knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

This acquisition will be solicited to

Triumph Gear Systems (82402) Per JDRS, this item has been deemed a Critical Application Item (CAI), thus limiting qualified sources. The repair of the item listed above will be solicited to Triumph Gear Systems (82402) because they are currently the only capable source with the technical data required to repair, test and certify this item prior to unit delivery and is the sole approved manufacturing/repair source identified in the JDRS CIM record. All alternate sources must qualify IAW the DCA's procedures, as approved by NAVAIR/NAVSUP WSS Source Development Department prior to contract award. Since the Navy does not possess sufficient rights to information such as drawings, specifications, and/or test equipment/procedures, a full and open competitive solicitation cannot be supported.

NAVSUP-WSS must procure repair of the item from Triumph Gear Systems (82402).

15 MAR 2019 Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice applies to this requirement

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 04/30/2024 and as a result

Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not conducted) are as follows

The latest configuration has been checked and all records (ITIMP, JDRS/ASE, etc,) have been properly aligned, identified, and documented. This item has been deemed a Critical Application Item, thus limiting qualified sources. Per JDRS, Triumph Gear Systems (82402) is the only approved repair source at this time. The data necessary to solicit the repair of this item from sources other than Triumph Gear Systems (82402) is not physically available and is uneconomical to obtain.

The available technical data is insufficient for the development of new sources. Source Development Department files indicate no Source Approval Request (SAR) has been received from any party interested in becoming an approved source. Triumph Gear Systems (82402) is the only approved source at this time.

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.
