This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document for a Department of the Navy procurement action by NAVSUP WSS in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

The acquisition covers repair and overhaul services for four sensor assemblies (ESM) with NSN 7HH 2990 016110637 and part number 7662247. The sole source contractor is RAM-SYSTEMS GMBH, selected based on market research and technical review. The statutory authority for this non-competitive action is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented under FAR 6.302-1, justified on the basis that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. RAM-SYSTEMS GMBH is identified as the only source that maintains design and manufacturing standards, quality assurance procedures, and repair procedures for this item, with no authorized substitutes available. The government does not own the data or rights necessary to procure repair from alternative sources, and it would be uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. The acquisition includes a 100 percent option over a 365-day period. Market research was conducted using IIMP, FLIS, ERP databases and historical contracting records. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing. NAVSUP WSS has no current plans to compete future contracts for this item but will reassess feasibility and advertise future requirements on the government-wide point of entry. The J&A document includes certifications from the Requirements Planner, Reprocurement Technician, Contract Specialist, Competition Advocate, and Legal Counsel supporting the determination.
