About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) issued by the Department of the Navy's NAVSUP WSS in Philadelphia for a critical fire control subsystem component (NSN 1270-015255683). The J&A authorizes a sole-source procurement from Kollsman Inc. (CAGE 89944) for a repair/overhaul of a helicopter fire control subsystem, citing that Kollsman is currently the only approved source with the technical data and capability to repair, test, and certify the item.

The justification is based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1), which allows for limited competition when only one or a few sources can satisfy agency requirements. Key details include that the item is classified as a Critical Application Item (CAI), the Navy lacks sufficient manufacturing data and technical specifications to conduct a full competitive solicitation, and no other Source Approval Requests have been received from potential alternative manufacturers. The document indicates the contract was synopsized on 05/24/2023, with NAVSUP WSS open to reassessing competition if another potential manufacturing source emerges in the future.

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

KOLLSMAN INC. CAGE 89944 Per JDRS/ASE, this item has been deemed a Critical Application Item (CAI), thus limiting qualified sources. The acquisition/repair of the item listed above will be solicited to KOLLSMAN INC. CAGE 89944 because they are currently the only capable sources with the technical data required to repair, test and certify this item prior to unit delivery and are the only approved repair sources 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. The Navy does not currently have in its possession any manufacturing data, supporting test equipment, and associated specifications, or drawings, only part listings loaded in JEDMICS. Since the Navy does not own sufficient information such as any, specifications, test equipment/procedures, and drawings, a full and open competitive solicitation cannot be supported. NAVSUP-WSS must repair the items through KOLLSMAN INC. CAGE 89944 at this time.

15 MAR 2019 Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice applies to this requirement

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 05/24/2023 and as a result .

Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not conducted) are as follows

The latest configuration has been checked and all records (ITIMP, JDRS/ASE, etc.) have been properly aligned, identified, and documented. This item has been deemed a Critical Application Item (CAI), thus limiting qualified sources. KOLLSMAN INC. CAGE 89944 is the only approved source at this time. The data necessary to repair these items from sources other than KOLLSMAN INC. CAGE 89944 is not physically available and is uneconomical to obtain at this time. The available technical data is insufficient for the development of new sources. Source Development Department files indicate no Source Approval Request (SAR) has been received from any party interested in becoming an approved source. Kollsman (89944) is the only approved sources at this time.

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.
