This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form for a sole source acquisition from the Defense Logistics Agency Richmond.

The Defense Logistics Agency is acquiring cable assemblies and RADI components with NSN codes 5995-016238693 and 5995-014684693 in quantities of 48 and 115 units respectively. The acquisition is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period and will not include options. The sole source is TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS, INC. (CAGE 68999), justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) using the following authorities: AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer), AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing), and AMSC D (data needed to acquire this part is not economically available). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were published on July 2, 2025. The anticipated acquisition synopsis is scheduled for July 7, 2025, and the firm will be solicited for offers. A market survey was conducted with firms indicating interest. The justification notes that competition is not expected as there is only one approved source, with informal cost data to be requested. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include publishing a sources sought notice, synopsizing the acquisition, and including L22, L04, and M06 clauses in the solicitation with source approval request information provided to interested sources. The Competition Advocate approved the justification on July 14, 2025, and the Contracting Officer signed the justification on July 11, 2025.
