This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapons Systems Support (WSS) located in Mechanicsburg, PA.

The document justifies a non-competitive contract award for the procurement of Inertial Navigation spares from CAGE Code 03956 Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., located at 1070 Seminole Trl, Charlottesville, VA 22901. The acquisition covers spare parts with NSN 6605 015136655 and P/N 1982915. The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS-Mechanicsburg (Folder #242010284, PD #N0010424X7846). The expected final delivery date is 08/28/2025. The justification cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, specifically A/RMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the actual manufacturer), asserting that only one source—Northrop Grumman—possesses the data and manufacturing rights necessary for this item. The Government determined it would be uneconomical to reverse-engineer or pursue the item through other sources. The document notes this item has been awarded previously under the same CAGE code in 2015, 2020, and 2023. Market research concluded that no substitute sources or alternatives exist that meet the compatibility and testing requirements. The J&A received all required approvals including technical cognizance (10/30/2024), requirements cognizance (10/31/2024), contracting officer certification (01/17/2025), competition advocacy review (01/22/2025), legal sufficiency review (02/06/2025), and final approval by the Competition Advocate on 02/13/2025.
