1.31 Redacted J&A.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract issued by the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville for elevator hatch assembly parts for the USS Winston Churchill. The procurement is for a single (W) 5"-54 hatch assembly with a required delivery date of 06JUN26, specifically for Jered Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The contract is being awarded under simplified acquisition procedures due to the proprietary nature of the parts, with Jered being the sole OEM and manufacturer of these components.

The justification highlights that these elevator hatch assembly parts are listed on the Allowance Parts List (APL), a technical document identifying system equipment and repair spares. An award to any other source would jeopardize equipment compatibility and potentially incur additional costs. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and while currently unable to compete the requirement, NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville will assess potential competition if another source emerges in the future.
