This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, October 2025), submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency Weapon Support (Richmond) for the Federal Acquisition Service (FAZC).

The acquisition concerns the procurement of an IMAGE INTENSIFIER.N (NSN 5855-01-686-7264, MCQ 964) under a 5-year indefinite quantity contract with an estimated value and maximum dollar value that are redacted. The solicitation number is SPE4A7-26-R-0158, and the document identification number is 1000198555. The contract type will not include options. The sole source is Elbit Systems of America-Night Vision (CAGE 13567), an approved source that responded to a Request for Information (RFI) posted on 3/4/25 confirming willingness to quote. A sources sought notice was also posted on www.sam.gov on 3/6/25. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, specifically AMC 3 (acquisition for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC R (Government lacks data rights needed to purchase from another source and it is not economical to procure the data or rights). Technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the material is sole source to Elbit (13567) with the Government not owning data to make it fully competitive. A market survey was conducted, and the anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable. The Competition Advocate approved this justification on 2.6.26, and the Contracting Officer signed approval on 02/06/2026.
