Redacted J&A

This procurement under solicitation number N0038325X1718 is a sole-source justification for the acquisition of a Critical Application Item (CAI) from Elbit America Inc. (OWEC9), authorized under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 USC 3204(A)(1), due to the absence of qualified alternative suppliers. The item is governed by Boeing’s Source Control Drawing #901-370-376-103 and must be procured in compliance with DoD-STD-100, which restricts sourcing exclusively to approved manufacturers due to proprietary technical data that the U.S. Government does not possess rights to release or transfer. The place of performance is Fort Worth, Texas, with the contracting office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The justification asserts that no future competition is anticipated unless a new qualified source is formally approved by Boeing and added to the source control drawing. No pricing, contract value, delivery schedule, or payment details are provided, and the acquisition is not subject to competitive evaluation. Packaging, marking, and barcoding requirements are limited to compliance with NSN 7RH 1680 016775891 V2 and Cage Code MB1136C-06, without reference to MIL-STD-2073 or MIL-STD-129. The offeror’s size status, UEI, or socioeconomic certifications are not disclosed, and government representatives—including the Contracting Officer Michelle R. Krass and supporting personnel—have certified the justification, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical reviewer is formally assigned. No formal evaluation factors, inspection protocols beyond DoD-STD-100, or invoice requirements are specified, and while an option clause is referenced, its terms remain undefined. The procurement excludes full and open competition based solely on technical exclusivity and statutory authority, with no mitigation for potential organizational conflicts of interest documented.
