This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS in Mechanicsburg, PA. The document seeks to negotiate and award a contract for a rotary compressor (NSN 7HH 4310 012483144), classified as a spare part. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 USC 324(A)(1), with the rationale that only one or a limited number of sources can satisfy the agency's requirements.

The market research indicates that NAVSUP WSS has determined there are no alternative sources for this specific item. The government does not own the data or rights to purchase/repair the part from additional sources, and it has been deemed uneconomical to reverse engineer the component. The technical review concluded that the only known procurement sources are the original manufacturers, who maintain design and manufacturing standards. NAVSUP WSS plans to continue encouraging vendors with expertise to submit technical data packages for future potential competitive acquisitions, though no immediate plans exist to compete this particular contract.
