Justification Basis
The Government does not possess the necessary data or rights to purchase or contract for repair from additional sources. It has been deemed uneconomical to acquire the data/rights or to reverse engineer the part. Efforts were made to solicit offers from as many offerors as practicable, and the proposed contract action was synopsized in the government-wide point of entry.
Future Competition & Contact
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair this item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval, aiming to promote future competition.
