This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document for a sole source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with CPI International, Inc. for Precision Approach Landing Systems (PALS) Radio Frequency (RF) component support services.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, New Jersey is procuring supplies and engineering/technical services to tear down, evaluate, repair, restore, and modify PALS RF components in support of the Webster Outlying Field (WOLF) Air Traffic Control & Landing Systems (ATC&LS) Division. The five-year BOA authorizes CPI International, Inc., the Original Equipment Manufacturer of PALS RF components, as the sole source provider based on the company's exclusive possession of proprietary technical data, manufacturing specifications, detailed drawings, and production-level expertise necessary for depot-level repair and modification of the systems. The Government determined that substantial cost duplication would result if an alternate vendor were utilized, as no other company maintains the requisite data rights and technical expertise. Market research was conducted through multiple sources (Naval Air Systems Command Small Business Programs site, Dynamic Small Business Search, and Google search engine), confirming CPI International, Inc. as the only capable provider. A Request for Information (RFI N68335-24-RFI-0236) was posted on the System for Award Management (SAM) website on 05 December 2024, and a pre-solicitation synopsis was posted on 13 January 2025. The Government anticipates fair and reasonable costs and plans to continue monitoring the market for potential competing sources in the future.
