Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

This is a Department of the Navy justification document for a non-competitive contract action submitted under NAVSUP 6055 authority.

Contracting Activity and Scope:

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is issuing a contract through the Contracting Activity NAVSUP 6055 - Miscellaneous for a Vacuum Pump Unit (nomenclature: VACUUM PUMP UNIT AID) with NSN 7591-01D 01234245. The procurement covers supplies/services and includes repair/overhaul of the equipment. The contract action involves three personnel: a Requirements Manager, a Technician/Measurement Technician, and a Buyer/Supervisor. The work functions are designated as "Inspection Technician," "Measurement Technician," and "Supervisor." The period of performance has an expected final delivery date of 06/30/2027.

Justification Rationale:

The justification cites AJMC authority for this sole-source procurement, asserting that only one source can provide the required supplies, based on the need to acquire parts directly from the original equipment manufacturer for continued operational capability and maintenance. The document indicates that competitive procurement would create a gap in service or operational capability. The procurement authority relies on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits other than full and open competition under specific statutory conditions. Multiple approval signatures from Requirements personnel, Technical reviewers, Competition Advocates, Legal counsel, and Contracting Officers are documented on page 2, with dates ranging from June to October 2024.
