Class Justification and Approval for Non-Competitive Procurement

This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document (J&A No. F2553, 26-020) authorizing the Department of the Navy to issue a contract to DMG MORI (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for repair services and related supplies without full and open competition.

The contract covers supplemental repair services, labor for equipment services including relocation, on-site and off-site training, and materials for DMG MORI CAGE 96XT6 equipment and FASTEMS equipment owned by Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW). Specific platforms supported include FA-18 C/D/E/F/G, E2/C2, V-22, and H-53 aircraft. The procurement supports the Fleet Infrastructure Optimization Plan for FRCSW operations to sustain and modernize aircraft, engines, components, and support equipment. The contract has a five-year ordering period with no foreseen expiration date from award. The estimated dollar value table shows funding across a base year and four option years (OY 1-4) for FY26-31, with specific dollar amounts redacted in the document. The statutory authority for non-competitive procurement is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), justified on the basis that only DMG MORI is a responsible source capable of providing the required proprietary software, specialized access keys, and OEM support. Market research and historical contracting data from prior contract N6852025C0007 demonstrated that no other responsible source could independently complete complex repairs on OEM equipment without manufacturer support. The document includes technical certification, legal sufficiency review, and contracting officer certification, with approval authority granted to the Procuring Contracting Officer.
