This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) prepared by the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation, for a single-source procurement action.

The Navy seeks to acquire five units of aircraft refueling probe spares (NSN 7RH 1560-016758303 V2, P/N 77272 901-366-686-107) with an expected final delivery date of March 18, 2028. The procurement is justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) authority, citing limited responsible sources as the legal basis for other than full and open competition. Cobham Mission Systems - Wimborne, Ltd. (U1918) is the sole identified source, designated as a Critical Safety Item by JDRS with source-controlled technical data owned by Boeing Aerospace Company (77272). The Government lacks sufficient rights in the technical data to distribute to potential new suppliers, and no second source exists within the intended application. The J&A indicates that no other sources expressed interest following a market research synopsis posted on the government-wide point of entry on May 8, 2025. The document includes multiple certifications confirming fair and reasonable cost determination, legal sufficiency, and competition advocacy review. Required signatures include those from the Requirements Cognizance Officer, Technical Cognizance Officer, Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, Attorney, and FAR 6.304 Approval Authority, with signature dates ranging from May 20 to July 16, 2025.
