Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT) has published a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of a POWER AMPLIFIER ASSY (NSN: 7RH 1680-01-610-0020 E7, P/N: 8360297-002). This J&A explains the rationale for procuring this item directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) due to their unique design capabilities and the government's current lack of necessary technical data.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for a specific POWER AMPLIFIER ASSY, categorized under Product Service Code 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories And Components). The J&A details that the OEM possesses unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge essential for this item. The government currently lacks the technical data required to manufacture or repair the item from an alternate source.

- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (Sole-Source/Limited-Source Acquisition)
- Item: POWER AMPLIFIER ASSY (NSN: 7RH 1680-01-610-0020 E7, P/N: 8360297-002)
- Product Service Code: 1680 - Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories And Components
- Set-Aside: Not applicable; justified as sole-source to the OEM.
- Published: May 5, 2026
Justification
Market research was conducted, and efforts were made to solicit offers from as many offerors as practicable, with a class waiver applied for the requirement to post an RFI or Sources Sought Notice. The OEM is identified as the only source with the required technical data to manufacture, test, and certify the item prior to delivery.
Future Opportunities
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture 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.
