This document is a Sole Source Justification for Commercial Items using FAR 13.5 for the Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WSS - Mechanicsburg). The document seeks to negotiate and award a contract for an Optical Loss Test K, with the part number MAX-945-NAV-M2042-KIT and NSN 7ZH 6650 017028624. The required delivery date is 10/23/2025, with an option period of 365 days.

The justification indicates that only KITCO FIBER OPTICS INC can fulfill this obligation, as the Government does not own the data or rights to the item and finds it uneconomical to reverse engineer or purchase from alternative sources. The procurement is for a specialized item where the original manufacturer (OEM) maintains design and manufacturing standards. NAVSUP WSS has no immediate plans to compete future contracts for this item but will assess potential competition for future requirements. The document includes signatures from various personnel including a Procurement Technician, Planner, Contract Specialist, Competition Advocate, Attorney, and Contracting Officer, with certification dates spanning from 10/23/2024 to 03/20/2025.
