Quick Summary

DLA Land and Maritime is preparing a sole-source solicitation for Circuit Breakers (NSN: 5925-01-473-0807) required for the Virginia Class Submarine (WSDC YJN). This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) cites FAR 6.302-1 (One or Limited Number of Responsible Sources), as the government does not own the data or rights to purchase the part from additional sources, and reverse engineering is deemed uneconomical. The solicitation (SPE7M525R0016) will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).

Purpose & Justification

The acquisition is for spare parts that must be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with existing components on the Virginia Class Submarine. The justification restricts the acquisition to sources approved by the design control activity, as only Jo-Kell Inc. and ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics LLC responded to the market survey among contacted sources.
