About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document from NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg for the sole source procurement of a current transformer (NSN: 1HM 5950 016594336 PP, P/N: 44D355347-555) from ECI Defense Group Inc. (CAGE: 3SDB5).

The J&A cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) authority as only one responsible source can satisfy the requirement. The government does not own technical data rights, making it uneconomical to purchase data or reverse engineer the part. The OEM (ECI Defense Group) is deemed the only capable source with necessary design drawings, manufacturing procedures, and quality assurance standards. The requirement was synopsized on February 16, 2024, with no other sources expressing interest. Technical research across government databases confirmed ECI as the sole known manufacturer. The document includes all required approvals including technical, requirements, contracting officer, competition advocate (March 20, 2024), and legal review (March 20, 2024).

CAGE NUMBER: 3SDB5 ECI DEFENSE GROUP INC. The Government does not own all of the data, or the rights to the data needed to openly compete this spares requirement. The source listed above, who is the OEM is the only capable source and maintains the design and spares standards via design drawings, manufacturing procedures, and quality assurance procedures.

Without the OEM documentation in-it-self, creates a safety issue, critical issue, which would develop, into an issue of mission capability. Failure to manufacture one or more items properly would have a severe impact on a ships steerage/maneuvering and speed capability.
