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

The Navy seeks to acquire FLU-8B/P Inflation Device spares (NSN 1377-01-590-0159, Part Number 849AS153) through non-competitive procurement from Stratus Systems (3AX04), the sole approved source on Source Controlled Drawing 849AS153. The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS - Mechanicsburg (Folder N0010426RK003, PD N0010426NB026). The acquisition is justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing AIRMC 3 and AIRMSCO reasons: the item must be acquired directly from the actual manufacturer, and it is governed by source-controlled technical data with Government data rights limitations. The Government lacks sufficient rights to distribute technical data to alternative suppliers, and no known distributors exist. Market research was conducted on September 25, 2025, and posted on the government-wide point of entry; results confirmed only the named vendor can meet requirements. The expected final delivery date is December 31, 2028. The contracting officer determines the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. NAVSUP WSS commits to encouraging vendors to submit complete technical data packages for future source approval to promote competition, with future requirements to be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
