This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS - Mechanicsburg, with Folder #242021111. The document justifies the use of other than full and open competition for the acquisition of spares under the authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1), citing that only one or a limited number of responsible sources will satisfy agency requirements, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

The acquisition involves spares procurement with two identified sources: RAM-SYSTEMS GMBH and RAYTHEON. The justification is based on the Government not owning the data or rights needed to purchase/contract repair of this part from additional sources, making it uneconomical to buy the data or reverse engineer the part. Market research was conducted on December 4, 2024, with industry showing no interest when the proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry. The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable. To promote future competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue encouraging vendors to submit complete technical data packages and will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible if additional manufacturing sources emerge.
