Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA, under the Department of Defense, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of 66 "DISPLAY, HEADS UP" units. This justification supports a sole-source award to Thales AVS France SAS, citing their exclusive technical data and status as the sole approved manufacturing source. This is not a solicitation for proposals.
Scope of Acquisition
The requirement is for 66 units of "DISPLAY, HEADS UP" (NSN: 6610146056585, P/N: C19696CA). The estimated final delivery date for these items is August 27, 2025.
Contract Details
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for a contract type A1.
- Estimated Value: Redacted.
- Place of Performance: Clarksburg, MD, United States.
- Published Date: May 7, 2026.
Eligibility / Rationale for Sole Source
This acquisition is being conducted under other than full and open competition, specifically citing 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The rationale is that Thales AVS France SAS (F9111) is currently the only capable source possessing the necessary technical data to manufacture, test, and certify this item. The Navy does not possess sufficient rights to information (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures) to support a full and open competitive solicitation. Market research was conducted, and no other capable sources were identified.
Additional Notes
This document serves as a justification for a sole-source award, not a request for proposals. Therefore, there are no submission or evaluation criteria for bidders. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. While NAVSUP WSS has no current plans to compete future contracts for this specific item, any future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
