Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
A Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) has been provided, citing "Only One Source Is Available." RTX Corporation is identified as the sole source OEM for these specific parts, owning all rights to the necessary technical data. It has been determined uneconomical for the government to acquire these rights. Market research was conducted, and price reasonableness will be determined by comparing proposed prices with previous purchases.
