About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS (Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support) in Mechanicsburg, PA.
The contracting activity seeks to procure an Accumulator Hydraulic (NSN 2990-01-0544-9713, Part Number 61-100-030) through a sole source contract with Protestal Cable America Inc. (PCAI). The supplies fall under the "Spares" category. The J&A justifies the use of other than full and open competition based on FAR 6.302-1 (unique or limited number of responsible sources). The rationale for sole source procurement cites that the Government does not own the data rights to the data needed to manufacture or repair this item, and it has been determined uneconomical to buy the data or rights. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government is fair and reasonable. The document identifies that market research was conducted in multiple databases (ITMP, ESI Single Parts Master, TDP test, CMAS, EBS, CECOS, LAEL, EMPF, and LOGIS) with no competing manufacturers identified. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is cited as 10 USC 2304(c)(1). Actions to remove barriers to future competition include encouraging vendors to submit technical data packages for source approval and advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry, though no plans currently exist to compete future contracts for this item. The J&A was created, reviewed, and approved by multiple stakeholders between April 15-20, 2026, including the Requirements Planner, Reprocurement Technician, Contract Specialist, Competition Advocate, and Attorney.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition
9. Any Other Facts Supporting Other Than Full & Open Competition
History
To promote competition, NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the subject item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval by the appropriate engineering source approval authority per the (WSS) guidelines.
Also, future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry. For reasons set forth in Paragraph (5 & 6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item covered by this document. If another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. Also, future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
