This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) submitted by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support (WSS) located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

The procurement covers the acquisition of spares for an HLDG FR SUB ASSY component (NSN: 1HM 4130 016203405 X3; P/N: 266928-001) with an expected final delivery date of December 31, 2026. The contracting action is being pursued under the authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1), which permits other than full and open competition when only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The J&A identifies that NAVSUP WSS determined the anticipated cost to the government is fair and reasonable. The document indicates no previous J&A exists for this procurement, and it was previously awarded under the SAT (source approval authority). The contracting office commits to encouraging vendors with manufacturing and repair expertise to submit technical packages for engineering source approval to promote future competition and will advertise future requirements on the government-wide point of entry. The acquisition was reviewed and approved by the Contracting Officer, with concurrent concurrence from the Competition Advocacy Review and legal sufficiency review, authorizing solicitation under the cited statutory authority.
