This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) submitted by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS in Philadelphia for the negotiation and award of repair/overhaul contracts through a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA).

The acquisition covers repair and overhaul services for parts designated as Critical Application Items (CAI) sourced from Northrop Grumman Systems Corp (97942). The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS, with Class J&A #16016, PD #N00383257-2044, and RVPR #1105913948. The contract action is classified as A1 BOA type and applies to orders against the BOA through August 30, 2031. The acquisition authority is based on 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 rationale justifies single-source acquisition from Northrop Grumman based on engineering source approval requirements, unique design capability, and specialized manufacturing/repair knowledge. The document notes that all alternate sources must qualify IAW the Design Control Activity's procedures and that Navy lacks sufficient rights to technical data such as drawings, specifications, and test equipment/procedures to support full and open competition. The contracting officer determines the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. The document includes certifications from multiple Navy personnel including the Requirements Cognizance, Technical Cognizance, Source Validation Cognizance, Contracting Officer, Competition Advocacy Review, Legal Sufficiency Review, and Head of Contracting Activity signatures dated between October 2, 2025 and December 29, 2025.
