Summary of Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.103-1) for a single-source procurement issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus).

The solicitation (SPMYM326Q3000) is a 5-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract on a firm-fixed-price basis for the acquisition of Glenair, Inc. electrical connectors and conduit assemblies. The requirement encompasses fourteen line items with part numbers ranging from Clin 0001 through Clin 0014, including gland nut assemblies, conduit assemblies in various sizes (12.0 x .50 ID through 36.0 x 1.00 ID), and conduit adapters with 4 and 5 outlets. Quantities range from 24 to 96 units per line item. The material is classified under FSC Code 5975 (Electrical Connectors). The base year is valued at a stated amount with option years 1 through 4 at specified amounts, for a total contract value that is redacted. The acquisition will be synopsized on sam.gov on or about June 30, 2026, for a minimum of two weeks, and dealers of the manufacturer will be solicited.

The justification for single-source award to Glenair, Inc. (cage code 18863) is based on the government's requirement for spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with components currently used on the Light Weight Wide Aperture Array (LWWAA) hull penetrators, which are undergoing refurbishment in accordance with Naval Sea Systems Command Drawing PFD 8N-637554. The Navy's technical drawing specifies Glenair parts by part number only, and the materials are essential proprietary replacement parts for the original equipment manufacturer. Market research confirmed availability from multiple Glenair distributors identified during the solicitation process, including six small business entities. Price analysis will be conducted comparing proposed prices to historical pricing data and certified cost or pricing data as required by FAR 15.403-3. A previous procurement (SPMYM3-18-D-1033) is attached as reference documentation.
