This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53), filed by DLA Weapon Systems (Richmond) under contracting activity FAKB for solicitation number SPF4A626R0156.

The acquisition seeks 205 units of cable assemblies (NSN 5995-01-648-6801) on a firm fixed-price basis for a 5-year base contract with no options. The statutory authority for limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The sole source identified is Glenair, Inc. (CAGE 06324). The justification cites AMSC B (part must be acquired from manufacturing source specified on source control drawing) and AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) as the basis for restriction. A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on March 2, 2026, with results indicating no competitive sources. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about March 7, 2026, and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one. The contracting officer (Patsy Bedford) certified the justification as accurate and complete on March 3, 2025. The Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) approved the justification on March 4, 2026. The anticipated cost to the Government is stated as fair and reasonable, with proposals to be evaluated using Inherent As-Written (IAW) FAR Part 15 criteria, pending receipt of only one offer under TINA (There Is No Alternative) conditions.
