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 3

Acquire, for the second or subsequent 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

Per JDRS/ASE, this item has been deemed a Critical Application Item (CAI), thus limiting qualified sources. The acquisition of the item listed above will be solicited to because they are currently the only capable source with the technical data required to manufacture, test and certify this item prior to unit delivery and is the sole approved manufacturing source identified in JDRS/ASE. 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 the item from .

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

History

To promote competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture 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.
