This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Sole Source and Limited Competition Acquisition filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

The document authorizes the acquisition of seven Control, Alarm units (NSN 6340017084202F W/DAF3231P005E) on an amendment basis to update SAW changes and Contractor's proposed pricing/max production under a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity contract with no options. The acquisition is restricted to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (CAGE 78JW8) as the sole source based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The justification cites AMSC 3P coding and notes that a prior Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on February 26, 2024, with a closing date of March 3, 2024, resulting in no responses. A second Sources Sought posting closed on May 21, 2024, also with no responses. The estimated contract value is redacted, and maximum dollar value is marked as N/A. The contracting officer conducted market research through multiple channels including Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, and Thomas Register to identify potential sources with data rights to satisfy the requirement. The justification indicates that Northrop Grumman holds exclusive data rights and is the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement, as reverse engineering is uneconomical due to the AMSC P coding. The Competition Advocate and Head of Contracting Activity approved the justification for a contract value exceeding $100 million but not exceeding $500 million, with the Contracting Officer (Michael Hannan, GS-13) certifying on July 27, 2026.
