This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for a Department of the Navy procurement action.

The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS–Mechanicsburg (Folder #24180-0008), seeking to acquire repair and overhaul services for a mechanical sub-assembly (NSN 7E+ 5865 016864940, P/N 7636336-3) through other than full and open competition. The statutory authority cited is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), with the rationale based on AFMMC code 4 and AFRMSC code R, indicating that only one responsible source (the OEM) can satisfy requirements due to design proprietary data and repair standards. The Government does not own the necessary data or manufacturing rights, making it uneconomical to reverse engineer or source the item elsewhere. Market research was conducted across multiple Government databases (ITMIP, FLIS, ERP, AMC/MSC, and others) and confirmed no alternative sources exist with the required capabilities. The acquisition will be solicited to a specific company identified in the market research. To promote future competition, NAVSUP WSS will encourage vendors to submit complete technical data packages for source approval and continue advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. Multiple internal approvals are documented, including Requirements Cognizance, Technical Cognizance, Contracting Officer Certification, Competition Advocacy Review, Legal Sufficiency Review, and approval required by FAR 6.304.
