This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document prepared by the Department of the Navy's NAVSUP WSS (Mechanicsburg, PA) for the acquisition of cable assembly spares.

The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS - Mechanicsburg (Folder #23235-0041, PD #N0010423XB534). The item manager is Farfling, Mcheyne; the technician is Daman, Andrew; and the buyer is Hoffman, Royce. The acquisition covers spares for a cable assembly (NSN 6150 016411781, P/N 06798003-101) under a noncompetitive procurement authorized by 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The justification cites AIRMSC Category 3 (acquisition directly from the actual manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and Category B (source control item requiring manufacturer specification). Market research conducted across multiple Government databases (ITITMP, MBPS, FLIS, ERP) identified only one known approved manufacturing source for this item, supporting the single-source determination. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. To promote future competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue encouraging vendors to submit complete technical data packages for source approval and will advertise future requirements on the government-wide point of entry. The document was created on August 14, 2025, and received Competition Advocacy Review and Legal Sufficiency approval on September 18, 2025, with FAR 6.304 approval required by September 29, 2025.
