Summary: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a non-competitive procurement by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

The acquisition covers spare parts for various SMDC (Standard Military Drawing Code) items with details provided in Attachment A, including nomenclature, part numbers, quantities, unit prices, and cage codes. The contract is anticipated to be awarded to a single OEM source, with an expected final delivery date of December 31, 2027. The procurement is justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing A/SRMC code R—the Government does not own necessary technical data or rights to purchase the parts from alternative sources, and reverse engineering would be uneconomical. The justification notes that the named OEM is the only source possessing the unique expertise and knowledge required for continued support and maintenance, and that acquiring data rights would significantly exceed procurement costs. Market research was conducted by an In-Service Engineer Activity (ISEA) technical review, confirming no known distributors or alternative vendors can meet requirements. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. Actions to remove future competition barriers include encouraging vendors to submit complete technical data packages for source approval per WSS guidelines, with future requirements to be advertised on the government-wide point of entry. The document includes multiple approval signatures from requirements, technical, contracting, legal, and competition advocacy personnel dated between October 2024 and December 2025.
