The J&A justifies the use of 10 USC 3204(A)(1) authority, determining that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The rationale cites that GENERAL DYNAMICS-OTS INC (05606) RAYTHEON (15090) is the sole identified source because the Government does not own the data or manufacturing rights to the item, reverse engineering is uneconomical, and no authorized substitutes exist. Market research was conducted via government-wide databases and databases but identified no other qualified sources. The document confirms fair and reasonable cost determination and notes no previous J&A award under the SAT. The procurement was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on December 4, 2024. Multiple approvals were obtained, including from the Competition Advocate (January 15, 2025), Legal Counsel (January 16, 2025), and a Far 6.304 approval authority (January 25, 2025).
