This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document submitted by the Defense Weapons Support activity in Richmond for a sole source and limited competition acquisition.

The acquisition involves Light Navigational supplies (NSN 6220-01-071-9273) with a quantity of 129 units (EAD). The contract type is an Indefinite Delivery Contract with a 3-year base period and no options. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing limited sources available. Two contractors are identified as capable sources: Grimes Aerospace (CAGE 72914) and Soderberg Manufacturing (CAGE 78366). The justification is based on AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval by design control activity). A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on 10/07/2025 with no responses received. A market survey was conducted indicating one approved source exists, with no other firms showing interest; the market situation has not changed since the previous acquisition. The anticipated cost to the Government will be established through an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with informal cost breakdown analysis for price reasonableness. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 10/07/2025, with solicitation copies provided to interested firms. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting requirements to DIBBS and including Alternate Offers NOTE M06/L04 for potential source approval requests, with a synopsis to be posted. The Contracting Officer (Cassandra Cooper) approved this justification on 10/07/2025 for an amount not exceeding $900,000.
