This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, October 2025), used to justify restricting competition for a federal contract.

The contracting activity is DLA Weapon Support (Richmond) under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15. The acquisition involves wiring harness branch items and cable assembly specifications, with quantities of 56 each and 169 units respectively. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price with a 5-year base period and no options. The statutory authority for limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited sources. The justification cites three primary reasons: AMSC D (data not economically available), AMSC Q (Government lacks adequate data), and AMC 3 (acquisition from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted to Contract Opportunities on November 26, 2025. The sole identified source is L3Harris Global Communications, Inc. (CAGE 7QAK7). The acquisition is synopsized on or about December 16, 2025, with solicitation copy available to interested firms. Actions to overcome competition barriers include posting a sources sought notice, synopsizing the acquisition, and including notice numbers L04 and M06 in the solicitation to instruct interested parties on submitting source approval requests. The Contracting Officer certified the justification on November 26, 2025, the Competition Advocate approved it on December 1, 2025, and approval authority extends to the Head of Contracting Activity for amounts over $20 million but not exceeding $150 million.
