This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for a federal contract with Yanmar Co., LTD. The United States Naval Academy seeks to procure four (4) Yanmar Diesel Engines with applicable Yanmar Transmission and Alternator kits for NA 44 Craft Sailboats, with a delivery date on or before August 30, 2025. The acquisition is a new task order with a firm-fixed-price, specifically for direct replacement parts/components that are only available through Yanmar Co., LTD. and their authorized resellers.

The justification cites Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) as the statutory authority, indicating that only one awardee is capable of providing these unique and highly specialized supplies. Market research confirmed these items are customarily used by the general public, with multiple vendors offering similar products. The manufacturer is Yanmar Co., LTD., located in Osaka, Japan, with a dealer/representative based in Somerset, NJ. The procurement is being handled by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center in Norfolk, with the technical requirements specific to marine engine replacement components.
