Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A)
- Statutory Authority: 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one or a limited number of responsible sources will satisfy agency requirements.
- Rationale: The acquisition is for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer, HOFFMAN ENGINEERING, LLC. The government does not possess the necessary technical data to manufacture, test, and certify the item, nor is it economically obtainable from other sources. Market research indicated no other interested or anticipated sources.
- Set-Aside: None (Sole Source Justification)
- Published Date: May 20, 2026
Justification Details
NAVSUP WSS determined that HOFFMAN ENGINEERING, LLC is the only responsible source capable of providing the required TESTSET, NIGHTVISIONVIEWER and associated services. This is due to the proprietary nature of the item and the government's lack of technical data necessary for competitive procurement. Market research efforts did not identify any other potential sources.
Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition
NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts for this specific item. However, the agency will assess competition if another potential manufacturing source emerges. Future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry to encourage broader industry participation.
