This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) issued by the Department of the Navy's NAVSUP WSS in Mechanicsburg, PA. The document seeks to procure a RESISTOR PLUG SWTCH (Part Number RP-24-04Z) from BEACH ELECTRONICS & MANUFACTURING, INC. as the sole source, with an expected final delivery date of 07/31/2026. The acquisition is for a spare part required for the Nuclear Reactor Program (NRP), and market research confirmed that BEACH ELECTRONICS is the only manufacturer with manufacturing rights to the underlying data for this specific item.

The procurement is being conducted under 10 USC 324(A)(1), which allows for limited source selection when only one or a few responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The contracting activity determined that BEACH ELECTRONICS is currently the only source approved to manufacture the required item, which involves complex and unique production techniques and extensive testing. The estimated value of the procurement is redacted, and NAVSUP WSS indicates they will continue to encourage vendors to develop competing capabilities for future requirements by advertising on the government-wide point of entry.
