This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition, prepared by DLA Weapon Systems (Richmond) for the Defense Logistics Agency (FAKB). The justification authorizes acquisition of cable assemblies (NSN 5995-01-577-8915) in the quantity of 208/842 each on a firm fixed price basis with a 5-year base and no options. The contracting activity number is DFARS PGI 206.302-1(d), and a sources sought notice/Request for Information was posted to Contract Opportunities on 2/3/2026.

The identified sole sources for this acquisition are L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 14304) and DCX-CHOL Enterprises, Inc. (CAGE 27456). The justification is based on authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC R (the Government does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase this part from another source, and it is not economical to procure the data or rights to the data). The primary supporting rationale cited in Section 11 indicates that based on technical certification on file, technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, with data presently available reflecting minimum needs of the Government. The justification was approved by the Competition Advocate on 2/4/26 and requires technical certification for acquisitions over $15 million. Actions to overcome barriers to competition in subsequent acquisitions 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.
