This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of the Navy NAVSUP WSS in Philadelphia. The document seeks to acquire a Flight Data Recorder (NSN 6610-01-434-0037) through a sole source procurement from Symetrics Industries Inc. (22830), which has been deemed the only qualified source for this Critical Application Item. The acquisition is for a repair/overhaul of the recorder, with an expected final delivery date of 04/17/2025.

The justification cites 10 USC 324(A)(1) as the statutory authority, noting that only one or a limited number of responsible sources will satisfy agency requirements. The market research conducted indicates that Symetrics Industries Inc. is the sole approved source, with no other offers received or anticipated. NAVSUP WSS has no current plans to compete future contracts for this item but will assess competition if another potential manufacturing source emerges. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
