Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for an exception to fair opportunity for the procurement of ENCRYPTION-DECRYPTION EQUIPMENT. This notice serves as a justification for a sole-source or limited competition acquisition, not a solicitation for proposals. The final delivery date is expected by October 6, 2026.
Purpose & Justification
This J&A authorizes the procurement of ENCRYPTION-DECRYPTION EQUIPMENT through other than full and open competition, citing 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The justification is based on the requirement for spares, repair/overhaul, modification, management, piece parts, or data reports for specific equipment (NSN P8 017078552 OR and P/N 3392AS612-200). The acquisition is limited to the actual manufacturer or a specific source due to the item being a Critical Application Item (CAI) and the Navy not possessing sufficient rights to technical data (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures) to support full competition.
Scope of Work
The requirement covers the acquisition of ENCRYPTION-DECRYPTION EQUIPMENT, including potential spares, repair/overhaul services, modifications, management, piece parts, or associated data reports.
Contract Details
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition
- Estimated Value: Not explicitly stated, but covered by this justification.
- Expected Final Delivery: October 6, 2026
- Place of Performance: Centerville, UT, United States
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is not a set-aside in the traditional sense, but a limited competition due to specific technical requirements. The acquisition is restricted to the actual manufacturer or a specific source. Alternate sources must undergo a qualification process approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. Market research was conducted, and the contracting officer will ensure the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable.
Additional Notes
NAVSUP WSS encourages vendors with relevant expertise to submit technical data packages for review and source approval to promote future competition.
