Additional Notes
A Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) supports the brand-name requirement, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the critical nature of these parts for the Stingray program and the unavailability of technical data for other manufacturers. Market research, including an RFI, identified potential small businesses but did not yield valid quotes for alternative solutions.
