AMO JA Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document used to support a federal procurement action that does not employ competitive bidding.

The document establishes the legal and procedural basis for a non-competitive acquisition under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented through FAR Subpart 6.103-1 (FAR Class Deviation 25-11), citing that only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The statutory authority invoked is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1). The acquisition is funded through PC&I accounts for fiscal years 2026 and 2027/2028. The document contains substantially redacted sections addressing the nature and description of the action, proposed contractor identification and location, estimated total value, description of supplies or services, demonstration of the contractor's unique qualifications, efforts made to solicit offers from multiple sources, market research findings (organized by business category: Large Business, Small Business, and Small Disadvantaged Business), and any other supporting facts. The J&A includes certification sections requiring attestation from both the Contracting Officer and Technical/Requirements Personnel that supporting data is accurate and complete. Final approval authority rests with the Procuring Activity Advocate for Competition (PAAC) when the action value exceeds $900,000 but is less than or equal to $20 million, with exceptions noted for justifications citing RFO 6.103-2 Unusual and Compelling Urgency authority.
