This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of the Navy, Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

The document justifies a non-competitive acquisition for an outboard magnetometer (Part Number 459D0002-2, NSN 1HM 5930 016443687) to be procured directly from EMS Development Corp (CAGE Code 51435). The contracting activity determined that only EMS Development Corp can fulfill this obligation as the sole known manufacturing source with design control authority and capability to properly manufacture and test the component. The Government does not own the data or rights needed to purchase or repair this part from alternative sources, and it is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. The expected final delivery date is July 5, 2027. The J&A is based on the statutory authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1) under FAR 6.302-1, citing A/RMC code 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the actual manufacturer) and A/RMSC code R. Market research was conducted across multiple government databases and commercial search engines, confirming EMS Development Corp as the only known source. The document includes certifications from the Requirements Planner, Reprocurement Technician, Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and Attorney, with signatures dated between March 25 and March 30, 2026.
