This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, October 2025) submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for contracting activity FAKB.

The acquisition involves cable assembly specifications (NSN 6150-01-572-1888) with a quantity of 30/60 each and an estimated annual demand of 720 units. This is an amendment to increase quantities on an existing contract. The contract type is firm fixed price with a 2-year base and 1 3-year option and surge provisions, with the option to extend the contract term for 36 months in 36-month increments. The statutory authority for limiting competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited sources. Three vendors are identified as capable sources: Marvin Engineering Co., Inc. (CAGE 32067), Richard Manufacturing Company (CAGE 67291), and Raytheon Company (CAGE 82577).

The justification cites multiple restrictions: AMSC C (engineering source approval required), AMSC Q (inadequate government data), and AMSC R (government lacks data rights). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on 1/11/2024 with no responses received. A market survey was conducted through the sources sought notice. The acquisition is synopsized on 1/22/2024, and fair and reasonable pricing will be evaluated using independent government estimate (IGE) and FAR Part 15 procedures if only one offer is received. The justification was approved by the Head of Contracting Activity for a proposed contract exceeding $20 million but not exceeding $150 million. Technical certification and supporting data from technical personnel are on file per FAR 6.303-2(c).
