This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JA) for the acquisition of spares, repair, overhaul, modification, management, piece parts, and data reports. The contracting activity is CA9 MW NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg. The statutory authority is 10 USC ****(a)(1), as implemented by FAR ****(a)(2)(iii)(B)(2), allowing for procurement directly from the actual manufacturer when the government does not own the data or rights. Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. (Cage ****) is identified as the sole source that maintains the design and manufacturing standards. Market research was conducted, and while there are no distributors, other companies can submit items for testing and evaluation at their own expense for potential future qualification. Future requirements will be advertised on the governmentwide point of entry, and NAVSUP WSS will assess competition feasibility if another manufacturing source emerges.
The bid notice states that if a company other than the one listed believes they have a compatible product, they can submit the item to the program office, to include research and development, drawings and test specifications. The program office will test and evaluate the item at the company's expense. Upon qualification, the approved company will be able to participate in future solicitations.
