Quick Summary
The Department of Defense, DLA Aviation at Philadelphia, PA, has published an Award Notice accompanied by a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of "SELECTOR, RECEIVER SIGNAL" (NSN: 0RH 5895 017091452 P8, P/N: 02697600-100-001). This J&A justifies a sole-source award to SIERRA NEVADA CORPORATION for 8 units, with an expected final delivery by March 17, 2026, at Sparks, NV. The notice was published on March 19, 2026.
Purpose & Rationale
The purpose is to acquire the specified receiver selector directly from the actual manufacturer, SIERRA NEVADA CORPORATION. The rationale for this sole-source acquisition is based on the item's unstable design, with ongoing engineering and manufacturing challenges that may lead to major configuration changes and render the current part obsolete. SIERRA NEVADA CORPORATION is identified as the only source capable of satisfying the requirement, as they own all data rights, drawings, specifications, and buy processes. Available technical data is insufficient for developing new sources.
Statutory Authority & Solicitation Efforts
The justification cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which permits awards without full and open competition when only one or a limited number of responsible sources can meet agency requirements. A class waiver for posting a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice was applied on March 15, 2019. The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on April 23, 2025, and no additional sources responded. Market research confirmed SIERRA NEVADA CORPORATION as the sole qualified source.
Future Competition
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture or repair this item to submit a complete technical data package for review and source approval. While future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry, NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts for this specific item. However, if another potential manufacturing source emerges and is approved, the feasibility of competition for future requirements will be assessed.
