This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document submitted by the Department of the Navy's NAVSUP WSS (Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support) in Philadelphia for the acquisition of spare parts through a non-competitive contract action.

The contracting activity is NAVSUP WSS – Philadelphia (Folder #25057-0022), with an expected final delivery date of March 3, 2026. The acquisition covers various spares identified in Exhibit A with quantities, nomenclature, NSNs, part numbers, and unit prices detailed in the supporting exhibit. The estimated contract value is redacted. The statutory authority for this non-competitive procurement is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented under FAR 6.302-1, based on the determination that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The J&A cites multiple sources as the sole approved manufacturers for critical safety items (CSIs), with alternate sources required to qualify under the Design Activity's procedures and NAVAIR Technical Data Requirements per TDRs 25-10020, 25-10024, and 25-10025. The rationale emphasizes that the Government lacks sufficient technical data, drawings, specifications, and test procedures to support full and open competition, and that these items are deemed uneconomical to reverse-engineer or procure from alternative sources. Market research was conducted on June 25, 2025, resulting in no additional interested sources. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and future competition will be pursued if additional qualified manufacturing sources emerge.
