59--ROTARY JOINT SLP R

The U.S. Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, is pursuing a sole-source acquisition for the ROTARY JOINT SLP R (NSN 5999-01-522-7692, P/N 6868537) from COBHAM ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SOL INC under FAR 6.302-1, citing the absence of responsible and capable alternative sources. This procurement is justified on the grounds that the component is proprietary, uniquely integrated into legacy defense systems, and no technical data or reverse engineering capabilities exist to enable competition. The acquisition leverages an existing Class Waiver dated March 15, 2019, and is governed by A/RMC and A/RMSCR codes affirming that this is a repeat purchase directly from the manufacturer and that the government lacks data rights to permit alternative sourcing. The place of performance and delivery is Mechanicsburg, PA, at the NAVSUP WSS facility, with oversight assigned to Contracting Officer Adrienne Hawkins and technical support provided by Brian Contino and Joshua Cartmill, who are expected to act as the COR and COTR respectively. No formal evaluation factors, pricing data, or contract type are specified, as competitive scoring, cost breakdowns, or incentive structures are inapplicable in a sole-source context. The deliverable must meet internal program-specific testing, design, and quality assurance standards, though no external military standards such as MIL-STD are explicitly referenced. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest solely with the government at the Mechanicsburg location, and while no packaging, marking, or invoicing protocol is documented, electronic systems like WAWF are likely implied given DoD norms. The CAGE code 66544 confirms the vendor’s identity, but no offeror certifications, socioeconomic status, or UEI data are provided. The contract action was justified internally on February 21, 2023, with a posting date on SAM.gov set for June 15, 2026, suggesting this is a planning document for a future procurement. No options, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or proposal submission deadlines are detailed, reflecting the non-competitive nature and administrative focus of this Justification and Approval.
