Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition
This acquisition was justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) (implemented by FAR 6.302-1) due to the sole-source nature of the requirement. VERTEX MODERNIZATION & SUSTAINMENT 96JA0 is the actual manufacturer and possesses unique expertise and knowledge for the repair. The government does not own the necessary data or rights for repair from other sources, and acquiring these rights was deemed uneconomical.
Efforts to Solicit Offers
A Class Waiver was applied on March 15, 2019. The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on June 18, 2025, but no interest was received from industry. Market research confirmed VERTEX as the only known approved manufacturing source, with no distributors or substitutes identified. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
Barriers to Future Competition
NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts for this item due to the outlined reasons. Future requirements will be assessed for competition feasibility if another potential manufacturing source emerges.
