About this file

This is a Sole Source Justification (J&A) for Commercial Items under FAR 13.5, prepared by the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS (Mechanicsburg, PA).

The acquisition concerns the repair of a CARTRIDGE (NIIN 001020351 PP, P/N 33C) with a required delivery date of February 5, 2027. The contracting activity is pursuing a sole source contract with CURTISS-WRIGHT FLEET SOLUTIONS (CAGE: 830R7), the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), under statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901. The justification cites A/RMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the actual manufacturer) and A/RMSC R (Government does not own the data or manufacturing rights, and it is uneconomical to reverse engineer or purchase the data). The Government lacks the design drawings, manufacturing procedures, repair procedures, and quality assurance procedures necessary to compete this requirement openly. Market research identified no authorized substitutes, distributors, or other sources capable of meeting the performance and compatibility requirements. The acquisition was synopsized on April 10, 2025, and no other sources expressed written interest. The contracting officer determined anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable, subject to cost/pricing analysis prior to award. No plans exist to compete future contracts for this item unless another manufacturing source emerges. All required signatures from the Planner, Reprocurement Technician, Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, Attorney, and supervising official were obtained between April 27 and May 18, 2026.

Repair of CARTRIDGE NIIN 001020351 PP

This justification is based upon the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901.

A/RMC 3

Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer.

A/RMSC R

The Government does not own the data or the rights to the data needed to purchase / contract repair of this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. 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. If two or more sources have the rights or data to manufacture/repair this item, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

This acquisition will be negotiated with

Based on the market research performed by the technical advocate, it is concluded that the only source of repair is CURTISS-WRIGHT FLEET SOLUTIONS (CAGE:830R7). The Government does not own the data, or the rights to the data needed to openly compete this repair requirement. The source listed above, who is the OEM, maintains the design and manufacturing standards via design drawings, manufacture procedures, repair procedures and quality assurance procedures. There are no authorized substitutes of this item as this is the only item known to meet performance and compatibility requirements. Furthermore, NAVSUP WSS does not have sufficient data to support an open and full competition. The item has to be tested and qualify within approved testing specifications procedures, embedded coding procedures, design protocols, and internal QA requirements. Market research did not reveal or identify any distributors.
