Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) document for Solicitation No. SPE7M825R0011 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime.

The acquisition procures 16 units of a Transformer, Power (NSN/PN 5950-01-446-9229) under a firm-fixed-price contract with no options. The end item is classified as 39A – Missile, Patriot. The Government is restricting the acquisition to Raytheon Company as the sole approved source, citing the requirement for spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently in use on the supported weapon system. Approval is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) using AMC 3 authority (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer). The AMSC classification is C, requiring engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality. The Product Specialist certified the accuracy of approved sources and applicable AMSC codes on July 24, 2025. Raytheon Company holds multiple approved CAGE codes (05716, 49956, 3B150, 54X10) for this part.

Market research efforts were conducted on July 24, 2025, including a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov, market survey contacting Raytheon, procurement history review, and general internet search—all yielding no alternative sources. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about August 5, 2025, for 15 days and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. The justification indicates anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable based on price analysis of proposals received and/or comparison to historical pricing. The document was signed by Contracting Officer Brian S. Maxwell on August 7, 2025, and approved by Competition Advocate Jamie Wiebusch. Approval authority is designated as Competition Advocate for the acquisition value exceeding $750,000 to $15,000,000.
