Redacted Justification and Approval.pdf

This justification and approval document relates to a limited/sole source solicitation from the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center. The solicitation is seeking cylindrical antennas for Phase B of a system development effort. The justification cites specific technical requirements that only the incumbent contractor is capable of meeting due to their extensive experience with the system design. A new competitive procurement would delay the project by at least nine months and increase costs substantially. Therefore, the justification concludes this solicitation should be set aside on a sole source basis for the incumbent contractor in order to meet required schedules and technical performance standards for the system.
