This is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a simplified acquisition dated February 26, 2026, with PR Number 44032526.

The procurement involves Hunter brand irrigation components and controllers needed to extend an existing Hunter irrigation system along Memorial Avenue at Arlington National Cemetery's in-ground irrigation system. The extension must be 100% compatible with the existing Hunter system to function properly as one continuous system. The document indicates a sole source justification under the "Other" category, with market research confirming that no compatible equipment other than Hunter parts will integrate into the existing Hunter equipment. The contracting officer, Timothy Wind, has certified that only one source is available and that the anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable using FAR Part 13.106-3(a) price analysis techniques. The technical requirement for complete system compatibility and seamless operation justifies the single-source procurement approach rather than full and open competition.
