Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT) has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) authorizing an exception to fair opportunity for the repair and modification of Night Vision Adapters (NSN 5855-01-614-7970, P/N 720200-04-01). This J&A supports the acquisition of spares, repair/overhaul, modification, management, piece parts, or data reports for this critical item. This is not a solicitation for proposals.
Purpose of Justification
This document justifies the procurement of the "Night Device Adapter" through other than full and open competition, citing 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The rationale is based on the determination that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy the agency's requirements, specifically acquiring the item directly from the actual manufacturer for the second or subsequent time.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for the "Night Device Adapter" or related services, including repair, overhaul, and modification. This item is designated as a Critical Application Item (CAI), which significantly limits the number of qualified sources capable of providing the necessary services.
Rationale for Sole Source
Market research concluded that the necessary technical data is insufficient for developing new sources. The sole approved source possesses unique design capabilities, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge essential for this item. Data rights and technical data are not economically available to the Government, making the sole approved source the only entity capable of repairing, testing, and certifying the item.

Future Outlook
NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts for this specific item. However, they will assess competition feasibility if another potential manufacturing source emerges and will advertise future requirements on the government-wide point of entry.
