Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Elbit America, Inc. for Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), NSN 5998-01-621-7332, Part Number 12976238-21, for use on the Bradley. This Justification & Approval (J&A) outlines the decision for Other Than Full and Open Competition due to proprietary technical data.

Purpose & Scope

This procurement is for Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), specifically NSN 5998-01-621-7332, Part Number 12976238-21. The requirement includes a minimum quantity of 15 each and a maximum of 460 each. The government lacks the proprietary technical data and test equipment necessary to facilitate competitive re-procurement.

Contract Details

  • Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price.
  • Acquisition Method Code (AMC): 3 (Acquire directly from the manufacturer).
  • Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC): H (Government lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data for competitive purchase).
  • Estimated Value: The estimated total maximum value falls within the approval authority for acquisitions greater than $750,000 but less than $15 million.

Competition & Set-Aside

This procurement is restricted to Elbit America, Inc. due to the proprietary nature of their technical data. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on August 1, 2023, yielded no responses. Efforts to obtain competition are limited by the absence of technical data and the significant cost and time required for reverse engineering. While this is a sole-source action, the contract will include FAR clauses related to Small Business Concerns and Competition in Subcontracting if the award is not made to a small business.

Key Justification

The rationale for using other than full and open competition is based on FAR 6.302-1, citing the proprietary technical data owned by Elbit America, Inc.
