This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden for sole source procurement. The acquisition is for a Transmitter, Radar (NSN 5840-01-659-3010) in a quantity of 2 each, with an estimated value that has been redacted. The document identifies Applied Systems Engineering Inc. (CAGE 3Z966) as the sole source supplier.

The justification cites statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically indicating this is the first-time direct acquisition from the manufacturer (AMC 4 and AMSC B). A Request for Information (RFI) was posted on Contract Opportunities on May 6, 2026, which resulted in no responses from industry, supporting the sole source determination. The market research revealed no alternative commercial or non-developmental sources capable of meeting the agency's requirements. Additional factors supporting the sole source award include that only Applied Systems Engineering Inc. owns the complete data necessary to manufacture the subject NSN, the contractor is unwilling to sell proprietary data rights, and the data is unavailable for full and open competition. The acquisition is structured as a firm fixed price contract without options. The Contracting Officer has approved the justification, which does not exceed the $10 million threshold requiring higher-level approval authority.
