Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of POWER SUPPLY units (NSN/P/N 6130-014537887, P/N 1A84105H03, P/N 1000835-015) required for the SEAWOLF CLASS SSN. This acquisition is restricted to NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION and RANTEC POWER SYSTEMS INC. due to limited approved sources.
Purpose & Rationale
This document justifies the procurement of these specific spare parts without full and open competition, citing FAR 6.302-1 (One or Limited Number of Responsible Sources). The rationale is based on the requirement for form, fit, and functionally interchangeable parts for the supported end item, with only two known sources approved by the design control activity. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice and market survey, yielded no other potential vendors.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for 4 EA of the specified POWER SUPPLY units, with a 50% quantity option. These parts are critical for the SEAWOLF CLASS SSN weapon system. The item is considered non-commercial and has never been solicited as such.
