This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition document issued by the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation in Philadelphia.

The acquisition covers 178 Signal Data Processors (NSN 5895-015638444, P/N 6399149-110) as spares, with an expected final delivery date of August 31, 2026. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation - Philadelphia (Folder #25232-0014, PD #N0038325X1297), with Item Manager Nicolas Marcucci, Technician Eric Ahlquist, and Buyer Carissa Maddalo identified as key personnel. The procurement will be negotiated and awarded through other than full and open competition based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1), as implemented under FAR 6.302-1, limiting qualified sources. The justification cites that Raytheon Company (96214) has been designated as a Critical Application Item (CAI), making it the sole approved manufacturing and repair source. The item will be solicited exclusively to Raytheon because it is the only capable source with the technical data required to manufacture, test, and certify the part prior to unit delivery, and no other sources possess sufficient information or manufacturing capabilities. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. No previous J&A exists for this requirement. The document was created on June 17, 2025, and received final FAR 6.304 approval on September 3, 2025.
