This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document filed by DLA Weapons Support Ogden for the acquisition of radar transmitters on a sole source basis.

The acquisition seeks nine radar transmitter units (NSN/PN 5840-01-644-8215FD/105103-1) from Applied Systems Engineering, Inc. (CAGE 3Z966) under a Definitive Firm Fixed Price contract. The sole source justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that only Applied Systems Engineering possesses the capability to furnish the required supplies. The authority for this restriction falls under AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing), with an additional justification that the technical data is proprietary and the contractor is unwilling to sell it, and the 415th does not maintain all necessary engineering functions required to reverse engineer the data. A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on Contract Opportunities on 3/31/26 with no responses received from industry. Market research was conducted through internet searches, Acorn Haystack, JEDMICS, and SAM.gov, confirming no additional sources are capable of satisfying the agency's needs. The solicitation is scheduled to be synopsized on or about 3/31/26, and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one. The justification requires Competition Advocate approval due to the estimated contract value exceeding $900,000 but not exceeding $20,000,000.
