This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document for a Department of the Navy procurement through DLA Aviation in Philadelphia.

The Navy seeks to acquire 24 Digital Modules (NSN 7RH 1680 015614750 E7, P/N 77A573607P1) for spares purposes with an expected final delivery date of 12/03/2027. The acquisition is being conducted as a sole-source contract under the authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1), citing FAR 6.302-1. The statutory rationale is based on ARMC 3 (acquire directly from actual manufacturer for subsequent acquisitions) and AIRMSC C (engineering source approval required to maintain part quality). The sole source is identified as Lockheed Martin (CAGE 03538), designated as a Critical Application Item (CAI) with technical data controlled by the design authority. The Navy determined that Lockheed Martin is the only capable source with requisite technical data, manufacturing knowledge, and design control authority necessary for this specialized component. Market research was conducted on 09/18/2025 with no responses received. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. Multiple organizational personnel have signed the document for requirements cognizance (Matthew Walsh), technical cognizance (Owen Ryan), source validation (Johnny Brown), legal sufficiency (Sharif Dawson), and competition advocacy review (Thomas Kreiling), with final contracting officer certification by Janelle Pepper, dated 10/23/2025.
