This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form prepared by the Defense Logistics Agency-Richmond for the acquisition of wiring harness branched components (NSN/PN: 5995-01-577-1315, quantity 195 EAD). The acquisition is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period and no options. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 15 authority for sole source and limited competition, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory basis for restricting competition to a single known source.

The sole source identified is Unique Elect (CAGE 64344), with justification based on AMSC B and AMC 3 citations, indicating the component must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing and that this is a second or subsequent acquisition directly from the manufacturer. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted to Contract Opportunities on November 18, 2024, resulting in identification of Unique Elect as the only source capable of furnishing the required supplies. Market survey efforts included solicitation to dealers of manufacturers of similar products. The requirement will be posted to DIBBS with a Source Control/AMSC B procurement note, and the synopsis will be posted to increase transparency. The Competition Advocate approved this justification on December 16, 2024, and the Contracting Officer certified the anticipated cost to the Government as fair and reasonable based on cost and pricing data to be provided under the Indefinite Quantity Contract structure.
