Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for a new one-year, non-commercial repair contract for 'C'-type circuit cards on the JTE ANTSQ/T10 Weapon System. The Air Force requires these repairs to maintain the capabilities of the JTE ANTSQ/T10 Weapon System.

• Repair of 'C'-type circuit cards for the JTE ANTSQ/T10 Weapon System.

• The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) type.

• Administrative CDRLs (CAVAF, RIIR, CPP) and technical CDRLs (ECP) will be delivered.

• Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)

• Period of Performance: One year, estimated award date April 22, 2026, with performance/delivery through April 21, 2027.

• Estimated Contract Cost: Not explicitly stated, but includes an annual inflation rate of 5.0% and uses 4930 - CSAG-S Working Capital funds.

• This is a sole-source justification, not a solicitation for proposals.

• The justification is based on the unique qualifications of Amherst Systems, Inc. and the proprietary nature of the circuit cards.

• This action is not a small business set-aside.

• The justification is based on FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source).

• Amherst Systems, Inc. is the only known vendor with the necessary unique knowledge, proprietary technical data, and capabilities.

• The government has attempted to acquire the data rights but Amherst Systems, Inc. has been unwilling to sell.

• Reverse engineering the circuit cards is estimated to cost significantly more than acquiring them from the sole source and would result in unacceptable delays.

• A Sources Sought Synopsis was posted, receiving only one response from BHPE, who lacked the necessary skills and access to proprietary data.

• The government intends to continue pursuing data rights to enable future competition.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Performance Work Specification (PWS) outlines the requirements for inspecting, and if necessary, restoring end items to a serviceable, like-new condition. The work involves either Test, Teardown, and Evaluation (TT&E) only, or TT&E and repair.
