Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition for the acquisition of ACCUMULATOR, HYDRAUL (NSN 2090 7H 015449713, P/N 61-100-000). This justification authorizes a sole-source procurement for spares repair/overhaul of this critical shipboard component, citing that only one responsible source can meet agency requirements.
Purpose & Scope
This justification pertains to the acquisition of the ACCUMULATOR HYDRAUL, which is designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured). Its critical use in shipboard systems means failure could lead to serious injury, loss of life, or vital system failure. Substitution of this part is strictly not authorized.
Contract Details
This document is a justification for a sole-source procurement, not a solicitation for proposals. The legal basis for this action is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which permits acquisition from a single or limited number of responsible sources. The contract type, period of performance, and estimated value are not detailed in this justification.
Sole Source Justification
The sole source identified is PROTERIAL CABLE AMERICA INC (79N81), which is the only authorized distributor of AIRLINE HYDRAULICS (04962) DWG 61-100-000. The Government does not possess the necessary data or rights to purchase or contract for repair from additional sources, and reverse engineering the part is deemed uneconomical. A previous distributor, Electric Boat (96169), no longer supplies the item, and Airline Hydraulics prefers not to work directly with the Government on these components.
Future Considerations
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with relevant expertise to submit technical data packages for review, potentially enabling future competition. While future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry, there are no current plans to compete this specific item unless another qualified source emerges.
