REDACTED JA SPRPA125REG70.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation, for a single-source procurement action.

The procurement covers the acquisition of 65 spare display heads-up units (part number C1969CA, NSN 6610146056585) from Thales AVS France SAS (F9111), with an expected final delivery date of August 27, 2025. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation in Philadelphia (Folder #24234-0717, PD #N0038324X2831). The justification cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) as statutory authority, permitting acquisition from a single source when only one or limited sources can satisfy agency requirements under FAR 6.302-1. The rationale identifies this item as a Critical Application Item (CAI) with unique design capabilities and engineering source approval requirements mandated by the design control activity. Thales AVS France SAS is identified as the sole approved manufacturing source with the necessary technical data and manufacturing knowledge; alternate sources must qualify through Navy procedures but cannot be supported without full and open competition. Market research conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10 confirmed no other sources expressed interest, and no Source Approval Request (SAR) has been received from alternate sources. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. The document includes certifications from multiple organizational stakeholders, including the Requirements Cognizance, Technical Cognizance, Source Validation Cognizance, Contracting Officer, Competition Advocacy Review, Legal Sufficiency Review, and FAR 6.304 Approval signatures, all dated between August 2024 and April 2025.
