This code is used when the Government did not initially purchase the data and/or rights. If only one source has the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

Curtiss-Wright Cage 8FGX3. The Government does not own the data, or the rights to the data needed to openly compete this repair requirement. Only the source listed above, who is the OEM, maintains the design and repairs standards via design drawings, repairs procedures, and quality assurance procedures. The Government does not have the data/or is not authorized to use the data, to approve alternate sources. Without the OEM documentation in-it-self, creates a safety issue, critical issue, which would develop, into an issue of mission capability. Failure to manufacture or repair, one or more items properly, would have a severe impact on a ships steerage/maneuvering, and speed capability.

15 MAR 2019 Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice applies to this requirement

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 04/08/2024 and as a result no other sources have expressed interest in this requirement.

Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not conducted) are as follows

A technical review, which consisted of searching several Government databases including ITIMP, ERP/ORACLE/FMT, ISEA, and NSDER, has been completed on this item. Search criteria included Part Number, Design Control Activity, Cage Code, NSN, Nomenclature, RMC/RMSC, AAC, Criticality Coding, recorded approved sourced of repair, historical sources of repairs and past contracts. Based on this market research the contracting officer has determined that the only known repair source is Cage 8FGX3. If a company other than the ones listed, believes they have the capability to repair these items, can submit their company's capabilities to repair within this industry, to NAVSUP WSS Technical, for forwarding to the Program Office. The Program Office will review and evaluate the documentation provided. The Program Office may request further documentation of capabilities. The Program Office may also require a site visit, to evaluate a repair source's capabilities, to adequately accomplish the repairs for these items. Upon qualification, the approved company will be able to participate in future solicitations. A review of the databases listed in the market research did not reveal nor identify any known distributors item must be repaired by Curtiss-Wright cage 8FGX3.

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

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

9. Any Other Facts Supporting Other Than Full & Open Competition
