This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, October 2025) submitted by DLA Weapons Support Richmond for the acquisition of SATCOM antenna AIRC components under solicitation number SPE4A726R0447.

The acquisition involves 12 units of NSN 1680-015817988 and is being conducted on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), restricting competition to BAE SYSTEMS SPACE & MISSION SYSTEMS (CAGE 13993). The justification identifies AMC 3 as the basis for limited competition, permitting direct acquisition from the manufacturer for a second or subsequent purchase. AMC B is also selected, requiring acquisition from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on Contract Opportunities on 2/18/2026, but no responses were received. The acquisition is structured as a firm fixed-price contract without options. The estimated total value is redacted in the document. A sources sought synopsis was posted to beta.SAM.gov to notify vendors; however, no vendors responded to this notice. Section 13 notes that the solicitation will include procurement notes M06/L04 (replacing DLAD Delete Clause 52.217-002) and Procurement Note L22 (replacing DLAD deleted provision 52.217-9023) to permit other vendors to submit SAR packages and enhance future competition. The Contracting Officer (Claudette Atkins) certified the justification on 2/25/2026, and the Competition Advocate approval is required for acquisitions exceeding $900,000 but not exceeding $20 million.
