This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) from the Department of the Navy's NAVSUP WSS in Philadelphia. The document seeks to acquire 10 Slide Assemblies (NSN 1720-01-018-7536, P/N 510872-2) through a non-competitive procurement from three specific vendors: Duhadaway Tool and Die Shop, Inc., The Entwistle Company, LLC, and Penn State Tool & Die Corp. These vendors are the only approved manufacturing sources identified in NAVAIR TDR 24-10082, with the acquisition deemed a Critical Safety Item that limits qualified sources.

The expected final delivery date is 08/14/2025, with the proposed contract action synopsized on 10/24/2024. The Navy has determined that the technical data is insufficient for developing new sources, and no Source Approval Request has been received from other potential vendors. To promote future competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue encouraging vendors to submit technical data packages for review and source approval. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and the procurement will be processed through the Small Business Coordination Record DD2579.
