FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Activity.

Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD) Lakehurst, NJ.

2. Description of the Action Being Approved.

This Justification and Approval (J&A) authorizes and approves, on a limited competitive basis, the award of a contract to either: Alliance Network Integrators (ANI) (CAGE: 9A8S6) or the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Hydraulics International, Inc. (HII) (CAGE: 56529) for the procurement of Electric Hydraulic Power Supplies, Part Number (P/N) 040499-100, in support of the C-130 Program.

3. Description of Supplies/Services.

This acquisition is for the procurement of a quantity of four Hydraulic Power Supply units required to meet initial stand-up quantities for Kinston Depot project. This P/N is required as

Common Support Equipment (CSE) to perform Organizational/Intermediate and Depot Level

Maintenance tasks on C-130 type aircraft.

Estimated Dollar Value

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

The OEM, HYDRAULICS INTERNATIONAL, INC. CAGE: (56529) (PN: 040499-100) is solely manufactured and distributed by HYDRAULICS INTERNATIONAL, INC. The OEM owns the proprietary rights to the drawing and design of this equipment and is not interested in selling any of the rights. HYDRAULICS INTERNATIONAL, INC and its authorized reseller, Alliance Network Integrators are the only sources with the requisite knowledge, experience, technical expertise and technical data to provide the required Common Support Equipment

(CSE). The Government does not own rights to the drawings and technical data package necessary to support a competitive acquisition. There are no other manufacturers or approved distributors identified that were able to meet the Government’s requirement.

The OEM, HYDRAULICS INTERNATIONAL, INC. CAGE: (56529) identified

, as an authorized reseller of this item(s) quoted under Quote No. E26B65 to the United States Navy.

This authorization is strictly limited to the above-mentioned procurement and is not valid for any other U.S. Navy solicitations or projects.

If the Government were to procure an alternate to (PN: 040499-100), it would result in schedule delays that would reduce fleet readiness and effectiveness. Procuring any other listed CSE that has not been validated and verified for compatible use on the C-130 Aircraft would require test and evaluation, as well as a new validation certification. Based on prior purchase history, it is anticipated that the Government would experience

The CSE is required to perform maintenance on C-

130 Aircraft, and
