This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document from NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA N00383-4-G-BU01) valid through June 2009. The document justifies sole source repair/overhaul services from Howell Instruments for various parts, citing 10 USC 3204(A)(1) as the statutory authority since only one or limited sources can satisfy requirements.

The justification explains that Howell Instruments is the only source with the required technical data to repair, test and certify the items prior to delivery. The Navy lacks sufficient technical data such as drawings, specifications, and test procedures to conduct full and open competition. The document includes approval signatures from multiple officials including logistics management, equipment specialists, contracting officers, competition advocates, and legal review. A Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice was applied on March 5, 2010. No previous J&A award history exists for these requirements.
