Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS), has published a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the sole-source acquisition of an Adapter, Rack, Storage (NSN: 7RH 1095 015381291, P/N: 1216N018). This action justifies awarding a contract to ARESIA-VALENTON F0554 in Valenton, France, as the only approved source for this Critical Safety Item (CSI). The expected final delivery date is August 9, 2027.
Purpose & Justification
This J&A, issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(A)(1) (implemented by FAR 6.302-1), details the rationale for limiting competition. The item, an Adapter Rack Storage, is designated as a Critical Safety Item (CSI). ARESIA-VALENTON F0554 is identified as the sole approved source possessing the unique technical data, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge required to repair, test, and certify the item. The government does not own sufficient data rights (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures) to support a competitive solicitation.
Scope of Requirement
- Item: ADAPTER, RACK, STORAGE
- National Stock Number (NSN): 7RH 1095 015381291
- Part Number (P/N): 1216N018
- Place of Performance: Valenton, France
- Estimated Final Delivery Date: August 9, 2027
Market Research & Future Competition
Market research confirmed ARESIA-VALENTON F0554 as the sole approved source. Obtaining the necessary technical data for alternative sources is not physically available and would be economically unfeasible. NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage other vendors with relevant expertise to submit complete technical data packages for review and source approval. Future requirements for this item will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry to promote competition.
