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

The document authorizes negotiation and award of a contract through other than full and open competition. The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS - Philadelphia (Folder #22287-0044), with Item Manager Abbondanza, Madison; Technician Phillips, Joshua (Equipment Specialist); and Buyer Wells, Jacob (Contract Specialist). The action type is A1, with PD# PATV2431146063 PINK5330596096 and PKS05320766134. The justification is based on statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. Section 3204(a)(1) and supported by rationale citing specific acquisition regulations (A/RMC 3 and A/IRMSC C). The document indicates that only qualified sources responsible for the design control activity can satisfy agency requirements, establishing the basis for limiting competition. The J&A was approved by the Competition Advocate on 04/15/2024 pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item, though it will assess feasibility of future competition if alternate manufacturing sources emerge and will advertise requirements government-wide as appropriate.
