This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) issued by the Department of the Navy's NAVSUP WSS - Mechanicsburg for a hub and cylinder assembly. The procurement is for a single item (P/N 660509237) with NSN 7HH 2010-01-380-0192, specifically for a 4-blade propeller system used in the LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) class. The contract will be directly sourced from the original manufacturer due to unique technical requirements and the government not owning the technical data rights.

The J&A indicates that market research was conducted across government databases, and only one known manufacturer source was identified. The contracting activity will attempt to promote future competition by encouraging potential vendors to submit technical data packages for review. The document was processed through multiple review stages, including technical, requirements, and legal reviews, with signatures from various Navy personnel between October 2020 and March 2021, and final approval dates in early 2021. The procurement method is justified under 10 USC 2304(c)(1), which allows for limited competitive sourcing when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.
