Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A)
This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS in Philadelphia, for the repair and overhaul of a Magnetic Transmitter Unit (NSN 1280-014701435, P/N 620200-01-02). The procurement action is being conducted on a non-competitive basis under the authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, justified by the determination that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The expected final delivery date is June 30, 2027, with the item classified as a Critical Application Item (CAI) under JDRS. The acquisition falls under code N98112.27 with folder number 25254.0042 and PD number N00383241J4931.
The rationale for sole-source procurement centers on the item's designation as a CAI with unique design and manufacturing requirements that necessitate engineering source approval by the design control activity. The approved repair source possesses exclusive technical data, manufacturing knowledge, and test procedures that are not economically available to the Government and are essential for maintaining part quality. Market research confirmed no alternative sources have submitted Source Approval Requests, and available technical data is insufficient for developing new sources. To promote future competition, NAVSUP WSS commits to encouraging vendors to submit complete technical data packages for source approval review and will continue advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry. The contracting officer (Cathy Hughes, Supervisor) certified the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable on October 23, 2025, following approvals from technical, legal, and competition advocacy personnel.

Line of Accounting
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, this item has been deemed a Critical Application Item (CAI), thus limiting qualified sources. The repair of the referenced item item will be solicited to 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 repair source identified in JDRS. 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 repair of the item from .
