What this opportunity is
The Department of Defense is seeking repair services for a power supply, specifically from Powerstar Inc, as they are the only source with the necessary technical data for repair, testing, and certification. This opportunity is suited for small businesses that can meet the requirements of a sole-source contract, as the government has determined that competitive solicitation is not feasible due to the lack of available technical data. Note that this is a Justification and Approval (J&A) notice, indicating that tracking this opportunity is essential, but bidding is not applicable.

A/RMC 5

A/RMSC D
The data needed to acquire/repair this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft
adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. A/RMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.
This acquisition will be solicited to
Powerstar Inc (0ZAP8) This repair will be solicited to the Powerstar Inc (0ZAP8) because they’re the only source with the technical data required to repair, test and
certify this item prior to unit delivery. In the absence of any technical data, it is imperative that the Government deal strictly with Powerstar Inc (0ZAP8) for repair of

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 10/21/2025
and as a result
Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not
conducted) are as follows
The latest configuration has been checked and all records (ITIMP, JDRS) have been properly aligned, identified, and documented. This item has been deemed
Non-Critical. However, the data necessary to solicit this item from sources other than Powerstar Inc (0ZAP8) is not physically available and is uneconomical to
obtain. The available technical data is insufficient for the development of new sources. Source Development Department files indicate no Source Approval Request
(SAR) has been received from any party interested in becoming an approved source. Powerstar (0ZAP8) is the only approved source at this time.
Source Validation Review
The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.
For reasons set forth in Paragraph (5 & 6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item covered by this document. If
another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. Also, future requirements will
be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
