About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS (Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support) located in Mechanicsburg, PA.
The contracting activity seeks to procure control panel microcircuit spare parts (NSN 9999-LL-CYB-0851, P/N 376-92116-003) on a non-competitive basis. The acquisition is justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The contracting rationale invokes A/RMC Code 4 (acquire for the first time directly from the actual manufacturer) and A/RMSC Code R, establishing that the government does not own manufacturing data or rights, and it is uneconomical to pursue data acquisition or reverse engineering. The identified sole source is the only known entity possessing the requisite technical data and capability to manufacture or repair this item to meet performance and compatibility requirements, including specialized testing specifications, embedded coding procedures, design protocols, and internal quality assurance requirements. Market research conducted through ITIMP, FLIS, and ERP databases identified no alternative sources or distributors. A synopsis was posted on the government-wide point of entry on July 15, 2025, resulting in no additional offers or interest. The expected final delivery date is June 4, 2026. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable and will perform cost/price analysis prior to award. NAVSUP WSS commits to encouraging vendors to submit technical data packages for source approval to promote future competition and will advertise future requirements on the government-wide point of entry.

It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

is the only known source that has/owns the data, and it has been deemed uneconomical to pursue the acquisition of the data because the data and its content are not available. There are no authorized substitutes of this item as this is the only item known to meet performance and compatibility requirements within the higher assembly. Furthermore, there is no data to support an open and full competition. The item has to be tested within the upper assembly and qualify within approved testing specifications procedures, embedded coding procedures, design protocols, and internal QA requirements. NAVSUP-WSS must procure the item from

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 07/15/2025 and as a result No additional offers or interest was received.
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
A technical review, which consisted of searching several Government databases including ITIMP, FLIS and ERP, has been completed on this item. Search criteria included Part Number, Design Control Activity, Cage Code, NSN, Nomenclature, AMC/AMSC, AAC, Criticality Coding, recorded approved sourced of supply, historical sources of supply and past contracts. Based on this market research the contracting officer has determined that the only known procurement source is
If a company other than the one listed believes they have a compatible product, they can submit the item to the Engineering Program Office, to include research and development, drawings and test specifications. The program office may test and evaluate the item at the company’s expense, when appropriate. Upon qualification, the approved company will be able to participate in current or future solicitations. ITIMP- Reviewed award history and other potential sources of supply, AMC/AMSC code, part number, CAGE code. ERP- Search criteria included part number, design control activity, Cage code, NSN, Nomenclature, AMC/AMSC, AAC, Criticality Coding which all matched with ITIMP. A review of the databases, in the market research, did not reveal nor identify any known distributors.
The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable. The contracting officer will perform cost and/or price analysis to determine final price reasonableness prior to awarding contract.
