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 repair of 10 NIINs for MK38 systems. This J&A authorizes the negotiation and award of a contract to BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS LP as the sole known repair source. The proposed contract covers a 24-month period, estimated from August 11, 2022, to August 10, 2024.
Purpose & Justification
This document justifies the Department of the Navy's decision to award a contract through other than full and open competition for "VARIOUS" supplies/services, identified as C1 Repair LTC. The authority cited is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which states that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements.
Rationale for Limited Competition
The specific parts/services require repair or acquisition directly from the actual manufacturer. The necessary technical data for competitive acquisition or repair is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and adequate specifications cannot be drafted for a competitive solicitation. The government does not own the technical data, and reverse engineering is deemed uneconomical. Market research, including ITIMP, WebFLIS, and ERP data, identified BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS LP (44114) as the sole known repair source.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the repair of 10 NIINs for MK38 systems, with specific nomenclature, NSN, and P/N listed as "VARIOUS - SEE ATTACHMENT A" in the original document.

Efforts to Promote Competition
A Sources Sought Notice was posted on the government-wide point of entry, closing on August 12, 2021, which received no responses.

NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to submit technical data packages for source approval, and future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
