SPRHA526R0097_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, October 2025) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden for the acquisition of MAST (Master Assemblies) under solicitation SPRHA5-26-R-0097.

The acquisition involves the procurement of 5 units of MAST components (NSN/PN: 5985-01-599-0123 / 200425802-1) under a firm fixed-price contract without options. The justification is being submitted as a new action under FAR Part 15. The sole source is Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (CAGE: 1L4J7). The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with the specific acquisition justification based on AMC 2 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time) and AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing), along with an additional "Other" rationale that The Will-Burt Company owns proprietary data and is unwilling to sell it to the Government. A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on Contract Opportunities on 11/18/2025, resulting in no responses from industry. Market research was conducted including review of commercial catalogs, procurement history, government corporate knowledge, Internet databases, and government screening documents. The 415th determined that no additional sources are capable of satisfying the agency's need for this proprietary item, and technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. The anticipated cost to the Government is determined to be fair and reasonable per IAW FAR 15.404 and other certified cost and price data. Dennis Bouy, Contracting Officer, approved the justification for acquisitions not exceeding $900,000.
