Redacted Justification and Approval (J&A)

Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies and approves the use of other than full and open competition for the procurement of Remote Power Control (RPC) units, also known as Control Power Supply (National Stock Number 6130-01-575-0929, Part Number 12467273-4). The RPC is a critical component used in the Abrams Family of Vehicles (FOV) for powering various systems, including Remote Switch Modules and the Auxiliary Hydraulic Pump.

• The contract is for a base quantity of 335 RPC units, with a 100% option for an additional 335 units, totaling 670 units.

• The RPC is essential for the reliable, safe, and efficient operation of the M1 Abrams power management system.

• The proposed contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price.

• The contracting agency is DLA-WRN.

• The proposed contractor is Data Device Corporation (DDC) or an offeror providing DDC's approved product.

• This document is a justification for sole-source procurement, not a solicitation requiring proposal submissions.

• The authority cited for this action is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements."

• The procurement is not set-aside for small businesses.

• Subcontracting clauses for small business utilization will be included.

• DDC is identified as the sole source due to its unique manufacturing capabilities and ownership of the technical data package (TDP). The government does not own proprietary rights to produce a competitive TDP.

• Reverse engineering the RPC to develop a competitive TDP is estimated to cost $8.99 million and take 81 months, with the cost not recoverable within a reasonable timeframe.

• Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice, yielded no responses.

• Previous contracts for this item have been awarded to Data Device Corporation on a sole-source basis.
