- Place of Performance: Walpole, MA, United States
Rationale for Sole Source
The procurement is justified under statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 1901, implemented by FAR Subpart 13.5, for commercial items. The rationale states that the item is commercial/nondevelopmental/off-the-shelf, and the current source is the only one capable of satisfying the requirement. This source owns the necessary data, and it is deemed uneconomical to obtain or reverse engineer this data. There are no authorized substitutes, and the item must be tested within the upper assembly. No known authorized distributors exist for this National Item Identification Number (NIIN).
Market Research & Future Competition
Market research efforts were conducted, including synopsizing the proposed action on the government-wide point of entry. However, only one source expressed interest in writing. The contracting officer will determine that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable prior to award. NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the item to submit technical data for source approval. Future requirements will be advertised, but there are no immediate plans to compete future contracts for this specific item.
