1.05 Urgency of Need Signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Urgent Acquisition document submitted to the Contracting Officer at Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk under Procurement Request No. 1301367249, citing Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.102(a).

The justification supports processing an urgent requirement for equipment needed for GRF fuel certification. The acquisition falls within the $25,000 to $250,000 threshold and qualifies for expedited processing under urgent circumstances. The contracting officer has determined that only one source can reasonably meet the Government's needs. The document indicates that the required delivery date is listed as "NA" on the requisition. The estimated production lead time for the contractor to complete the requirement following contract award is listed as "UNKNOWN." The primary justification for urgency centers on mission impact: without the equipment, GRF may fail its fuels certification or receive a restricted certification, which would disable the facility from fueling in the hangar bay (Reference NAWCADLKE-MISC-482500-0509). The document requires documentation of at least three firms contacted that cannot provide an item meeting Government needs, including company names, phone numbers, persons contacted, dates of calls, and reasons for inability to fulfill the requirement. The document requires certification by the submitting official, approval by a Technical/Equipment Specialist, and concurrence by the FLC Norfolk Contracting Officer.
