This Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document is for DLA Aviation in Philadelphia, seeking to acquire 5 Intercommunication units from Mathtech (6R039) for $150,000.00 each. The procurement is for a Critical Application Item (CAI), which limits qualified sources, and Mathtech is currently the only approved source capable of manufacturing, testing, and certifying the item. The expected final delivery date is 05/01/2026, and the contract will be solicited through non-competitive means under the authority of 10 USC 324(A)(1).

The market research indicates no alternative manufacturers were found, and no interest was received when the proposed contract was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry. The Navy's Source Development Department confirmed that alternate sources must meet strict engineering and manufacturing qualifications. NAVSUP WSS (Naval Supply Systems Command) will continue to encourage vendors with expertise to submit technical data packages for future competitive procurement, but currently, this sole-source procurement from Mathtech is deemed necessary to meet the Department of Navy's technical requirements.
