Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT, has issued an Award Notice accompanied by a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the repair/modification of "ADAPTER, RACK, STORAGE" (NSN: 7RH 1095 015381291, P/N: 1216N018). This action justifies a sole-source award to ARESIA-VALENTON F0554 located in Valenton, France, due to the item's classification as a Critical Safety Item (CSI) and the vendor's unique capabilities.

Scope of Work

This requirement is for the acquisition of an ADAPTER, RACK, STORAGE, specifically NSN: 7RH 1095 015381291, P/N: 1216N018. The services involve the repair and modification of this critical component.

Contract Details

Type: Sole-Source Award (Justified by J&A)
Authority: 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements).
Period of Performance: Expected Final Delivery Date: August 9, 2027
Place of Performance: Valenton, France
Set-Aside: None

Justification for Sole Source

The item, an ADAPTER, RACK, STORAGE, is designated as a Critical Safety Item (CSI). Market research confirmed that ARESIA-VALENTON F0554 is currently the only approved source possessing the necessary technical data, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge to repair, test, and certify this item. The government does not possess sufficient rights to information (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures) required to support a full and open competitive solicitation, and obtaining such data is not physically available or economical.

Future Outlook

NAVSUP WSS encourages other vendors with the expertise to repair this item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval. Future requirements for this item will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry to promote competition.
