This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

The document justifies the award of a contract for repair/overhaul services of a BLADE PROPELLER, SHI (NSN 2010012335405, P/N 660509240) through other than full and open competition. The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS - Mechanicsburg, with an expected final delivery date of 12/11/2026. The statutory authority for this procurement is 10 USC 3204(a)(1), permitting award to a limited number of responsible sources under FAR 6.302(c). The rationale for restricting competition centers on manufacturer data rights; the Government does not own or have rights to the data necessary to purchase or contract repair of this part from alternative sources. The part is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data or rights to manufacture/repair the item. The approved source of supply is CAGE NUMBER 93366 - GE AVIATION SYSTEMS LLC, identified as the current manufacturer. Market research was conducted through government databases (IIMP, FLIS, ERP) and the government-wide point of entry, which determined that no other known distributors or sources of supply exist. The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The document indicates no previous J&A exists and that this procurement was not previously awarded under the SAT. There are no current plans to compete future contracts for this item, though competition feasibility will be reassessed if additional manufacturing sources emerge.
