Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for an exception to fair opportunity for the acquisition of COMPUTER, RADAR SVR - AND OTHER REPLACEMENT PARTS (Product Service Code 5840: Radar Equipment, Except Airborne). This J&A authorizes a sole-source acquisition, as detailed in the attached document. The expected final delivery date is January 14, 2026.
Purpose & Rationale
This J&A justifies the acquisition of specific items (nomenclature, NSN, and P/N listed as 'see attach.') through other than full and open competition. The statutory authority cited is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which states that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements.
NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORP. (cage 03956) has been identified through market research as the only known manufacturing source for these items. The Government does not possess the necessary data or rights to purchase or contract for repair from additional sources, and it has been deemed uneconomical to acquire this data/rights or to reverse engineer the parts.
Scope of Acquisition
The acquisition is for replacement parts, specifically radar equipment components. This is a second or subsequent acquisition directly from the actual manufacturer.
Competition & Future Actions
NAVSUP WSS is committed to fostering future competition. They will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the subject item to submit complete technical data packages for review and source approval. Future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry, and if another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess the feasibility of competition.
