About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS (Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support) located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
The acquisition covers repair/overhaul services for a single item with an undisclosed part number and nomenclature. The contracting action is classified as Type A1, with Folder Number 242340086. NAVSUP WSS seeks to negotiate and award a contract through other than full and open competition on a retroactive basis, as the original proposal exceeded the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The statutory authority cited is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), establishing that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The J&A applies Acquisition Rationale and Management Code (A/RMC) 3, permitting direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer for the second or subsequent time, combined with A/RMSC R, acknowledging that the Government does not own data or rights necessary to purchase repair services from alternative sources and that reverse engineering is uneconomical.
The sole identified source is Raytheon Company, which maintains exclusive design and manufacturing standards through proprietary design drawings, manufacturing procedures, repair procedures, and quality assurance protocols. Market research was conducted across multiple Government databases (ITIMP, FLIS, ERP, NSEDR, ISEA) and revealed no known distributors or alternative sources capable of meeting performance and compatibility requirements. One interested vendor, Louis Allis LLC, expressed interest following the government-wide synopsis posted on July 1, 2026, but cannot satisfy requirements without becoming an approved source through Raytheon's proprietary data rights. To promote future competition, NAVSUP WSS committed to advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry and encouraging vendors to submit technical data packages for source approval. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, with no previous J&A on record as this acquisition was previously awarded under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

A/RMSC R
The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase / contract repair of this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.
This acquisition will be solicited to
Raytheon Based on the market research performed by the technical advocate, it is concluded that the only source of repair is Raytheon Co. - . The Government does not own the data, or the rights to the data needed to openly compete this repair requirement. The sources listed above, who is the OEM's, maintains the design and manufacturing standards via design drawings, manufacture procedures, repair procedures and quality assurance procedures. There are no authorized substitutes of this item as this is the only item known to meet performance and compatibility requirements. Furthermore, NAVSUP WSS does not have sufficient data to support an open and full competition. The item has to be tested and qualify within approved testing specifications procedures, embedded coding procedures, design protocols, and internal QA requirements. Market research did not reveal, or identify any known distributors.

History
15 MAR 2019 Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice applies to this requirement
The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 07/01/2026 and as a result One source, Louis Allis LLC showed interest in becoming a repair/manufacturing source for this requirement to which the Contract Specialist provided information to fill out and submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package. This interested source is unable to satisfy the requirements of the proposed contract because the sole source vendor Raytheon owns all the data rights to this item and the interested source must become an approved source via submitting a SAR package.
Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not conducted) are as follows
Raytheon A technical review, which consisted of searching several Government databases including ITIMP, FLIS and ERP, has been completed on this item. Search criteria included Part Number, Design Control Activity, Cage Code, NSN, Nomenclature, AMC/AMSC, AAC, Criticality Coding, recorded approved sourced of supply, historical sources of repair and past contracts. Based on this market research the contracting officer has determined that the only known sources of repair is Raytheon Co. - If a company other than the ones listed believes that they have a compatible product, they can submit the item to the Engineering Program Office, to include research and development, drawings and test specifications. The program office may test and evaluate the item at the company’s expense, when appropriate. Upon qualification, the approved company will be able to participate in current or future solicitations. ITIMP- Reviewed award history and other potential sources of supply, AMC/AMSC code, part number, CAGE code.
NSEDR - Reviewed applicable drawing to this item. ERP - Search criteria included part number, NSN, Nomenclature, AAC, Criticality Coding. ISEA - Confirmed that there is no engineering support required at this time. FLIS- Search criteria included part number, design control activity, Cage code, NSN, Nomenclature, AMC/AMSC, AAC, Criticality Coding which all matched with ITIMP.
