Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH) has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) authorizing an exception to fair opportunity for the acquisition of CONTROL, SERVO, CONTR (NSN 2010 012308051, P/N 694004002). This action approves a sole-source contract award to GE AVIATION SYSTEMS LLC, D/B/A DOWTY PROPELLERS (CAGE 93366) due to the government not possessing the necessary data or rights for competitive procurement.
Scope of Action
This J&A formally authorizes the negotiation and award of a contract for the specified control servo parts through other than full and open competition. The justification is based on the determination that only one source, GE AVIATION SYSTEMS LLC, possesses the proprietary data and rights required to manufacture or repair this item.
Justification Details
The rationale for the sole-source acquisition is that the government does not own the technical data or rights necessary to contract for repair or manufacturing from additional sources. It has been deemed uneconomical to acquire this data or reverse engineer the part. The document explicitly states that the government did not initially purchase the data or rights, and therefore, competition is not feasible for this specific requirement.

Future Considerations

All future requirements will also be advertised on the government-wide point of entry to promote potential competition.
