About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime under solicitation number SPE7M525R0019. The acquisition seeks 602 units of a Microcircuit, Linear (NSN 5962-01-067-1133) with AMSC code 3/C, used on a Caution Light Panel Assembly for the F-15 weapon system. The estimated value is redacted in the document.
The sole identified source is Spectrum Microwave (CAGE 07180), justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and AMSC C criteria, which requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality. The acquisition is restricted to this manufacturer due to existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge that are essential for maintaining part quality. The justification was certified by the Product Specialist on 5/13/2025. Competitive outreach efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted on 5/12/2025 that generated one response from BHPE (9SWS7) on 5/13/2025, and a market survey conducted from 3/26/2025 to 5/20/2025 that contacted only Spectrum Microwave. The solicitation is scheduled for synopsization on or about June 17, 2025 for 16 days and will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. Six additional vendors expressed interest in the acquisition. The Contracting Officer approved this J&A on 6/5/2025, and the Competition Advocate approved it on 6/18/2025, with approval required at the Competition Advocate level for contracts over $750,000 to $15,000,000.
