Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA, under the Department of Defense, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition for the acquisition of 30 MONITOR, AUDIO FREQ units (NSN 5859-015688724, P/N 5469200-001). This justification outlines the rationale for a sole-source award due to limited qualified sources and lack of government data rights. The acquisition is for 13 units with an expected final delivery date of March 18, 2026. The opportunity was published on April 14, 2026.
Scope of Acquisition
This acquisition is for 30 MONITOR, AUDIO FREQ units, specifically NSN 5859-015688724, P/N 5469200-001. The document specifies an acquisition of 13 units with a final delivery by March 18, 2026.
Rationale for Other Than Full & Open Competition
The acquisition is justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1), citing that only a limited number of responsible sources can meet agency requirements. Key reasons include:
- The item is a Critical Application Item (CAI).
- Only Lockheed Martin Corp. (98897) and SCI Technology Inc. (2J622) are listed on the relevant source control drawing (Number 5469200-001), owned by SCI Technology Inc.
- The Government lacks sufficient rights in the technical data to allow for competition.
- Reverse engineering the part has been deemed uneconomical.
- This is considered suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time (A/RMC 2).
Efforts to Solicit Offers
- A Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice was applied on March 15, 2019.
- The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on August 21, 2025, with no sources expressing interest.
- Market research confirmed inadequate data to support full and open competition.
Future Competition
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors to submit technical data packages for review and source approval. Future requirements will be advertised, but NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts for this item unless new manufacturing sources emerge.
