This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition for contract N0010424CQA26 to acquire MD-1324A and similar replacement parts for repair/modification. The sole source award is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as there is only one responsible source that can meet the Government's requirements. VIASAT INC. is identified as the only approved source as they are the only one that has met the qualifications to manufacture and repair this specialized item. There are no authorized substitutes. Market research was conducted, but no other entities expressed interest in the requirement. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable. The Government does not own the data or rights needed to purchase the part from additional sources, and it is uneconomical to buy the data or rights or reverse engineer the part. Future requirements may be competed if another potential source emerges.
