This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP WSS) in Mechanicsburg, PA. The document seeks to negotiate and award a contract for repair/overhaul of a specific item, with Raytheon Co. and U.S. Dynamics Corp. identified as the only known sources capable of performing the work. The technical review indicates that these companies are the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who maintain design and repair standards, and no other sources or distributors were identified through market research.

The J&A cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, noting that it would be uneconomical for the government to buy the data or rights to manufacture/repair the item from additional sources. The acquisition is for a single item that requires testing and qualification within approved specifications. NAVSUP WSS has no immediate plans to compete future contracts for this item but will assess competition if another potential manufacturing source emerges. The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry, and no industry interest was received.
