Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA has published a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of "COMPUTER, SPECIAL PURPOSE" parts (Product Service Code 1680). This J&A explains the rationale for procuring 59 units of these critical application items from a sole source, Elbit America Inc., due to source-controlled technical data and limited government data rights. The estimated final delivery date is January 22, 2027.
Scope of Justification
This document justifies the non-competitive acquisition of 59 units of "COMPUTER, SPECIAL PURPOSE" parts. The items are classified as Critical Application Items (CAI) and are governed by source-controlled technical data.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A)
- Statutory Authority: 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1
- Sole Source: Elbit America Inc. (OWEC9)
- Estimated Delivery: January 22, 2027
- Published: May 6, 2026
Rationale for Sole Source
The J&A identifies Elbit America Inc. as the only source listed on the relevant Boeing drawing (#901-370-376-(103)). The government lacks sufficient data rights to acquire these items from other sources, and obtaining such rights is not economically feasible. Market research conducted yielded no responses to a synopsis posted on the government-wide point of entry.
Future Competition
NAVSUP WSS currently has no immediate plans to compete future contracts for this specific item. However, they will assess the feasibility of competition if another potential manufacturing source emerges and will advertise any future requirements on the government-wide point of entry.
