Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) - Philadelphia, has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for an exception to fair opportunity. This J&A authorizes the acquisition of Electro-Mechanical Actuator spares, repair/overhaul, and modification services for specific NIINs/P/Ns under limited competition. The items are associated with operations in Miramar, FL. This justification was published on April 1, 2026.
Purpose of Justification
This document justifies the use of other than full and open competition for the acquisition of critical supplies and services. It outlines the rationale for limiting the solicitation to a restricted number of responsible sources, as permitted by 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1.
Scope of Acquisition
The J&A covers the acquisition of "Spares," "Repair/Overhaul," and "Modification" for two specific items:
- NIIN-014977142 (P/N-8656M2 RMC 1C)
- NIIN-014833206 (P/N-8118A RMC 1P) These items are classified under Product Service Code 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories And Components).
Rationale for Limited Competition
- Critical Application Item (CAI): NIIN-014977142 is designated as a CAI, requiring qualified sources with specific technical data and approval.
- Proprietary Data Rights: For NIIN-014833206, the government does not possess the necessary drawings, specifications, or test data, making it uneconomical to obtain or reverse engineer from other sources.
- Unique Expertise: Approved sources possess essential design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge required to maintain the quality of these parts.
- Market Research: Extensive market research identified only specific sources capable of repairing, testing, and certifying these items due to proprietary data and specialized knowledge.
Future Competition Efforts
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the necessary expertise to submit complete technical data packages for source approval. Future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry to promote competition.
