Justification
The government does not own the necessary design data or manufacturing/repair rights for this specific computer subassembly, making it uneconomical to obtain from other sources or reverse engineer. Market research was conducted, and efforts were made to solicit offers from as many practicable offerors. The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable.
Future Outlook
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with relevant expertise to submit technical data packages for review and source approval to promote future competition. All future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
