This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of the Navy's NAVSUP WSS in Mechanicsburg, PA. The document covers the acquisition of a SECTION ASSY,DC spare part (NSN 5996-01-527-1492, P/N 890032) through a non-competitive procurement process. Market research indicates that only a limited number of sources can provide this specific item, with two of the four approved sources being distributors and two being manufacturers.

The J&A outlines that the government does not own the data or rights to the part, and technical constraints limit competitive sourcing. The item requires testing within the upper assembly and must meet specific performance and compatibility requirements. No other potential contractors expressed interest after the proposed contract was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and NAVSUP WSS commits to encouraging vendors with expertise to submit complete technical data packages for future competitive opportunities.
