Processor, Counterme, in Repair/Modification Of

Summary (Newest Update)

Background This Justification and Approval (J&A) is issued by the Navy under the authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1), which allows for an exception to fair opportunity when only one or a limited number of responsible sources can meet agency requirements. The goal of this contract is to acquire repair services for a specific part from the sole approved source, TERMA INC., to maintain the quality and integrity of the part due to its critical application status. Work Details The contract involves the repair and modification of a processor, specifically identified as a Critical Application Item (CAI). The acquisition will be solicited exclusively from TERMA INC. (4AHH0), which possesses the unique engineering capabilities, technical data, and manufacturing knowledge necessary for this task. The justification states that alternate sources must qualify according to design control procedures approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The rationale emphasizes that the Navy lacks sufficient rights to critical information such as drawings and specifications, making full and open competition impractical. The anticipated cost for these supplies is determined to be fair and reasonable based on market research conducted.
