1.1.10 20260003007 Urgency REDACTED.pdf

This is a Justification for Urgency (Simplified Acquisitions) form used to support sole source or limited source procurement actions for federal contracts. The procurement (ProTrack 20260003007) involves services from an authorized/certified Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Tech Service Representative to service, repair, and maintain equipment, plus provide training support. The Required Delivery Date (RDD) is redacted in the document.

The justification identifies the urgency basis as a Programmable Logic Card malfunction affecting a reverse osmosis desalination plant pump discharge pressure switch, with failed parts requiring replacement and reprogramming. The contracting officer asserts that failure to meet the RDD would result in loss of fresh water supply, creating health and safety risks for crew members. The procurement is being pursued as limited source, with Aqua Chem identified as the sole available source because it is the OEM that maintains proprietary programming for these units, and any replacement parts, software, or firmware must be OEM-certified to maintain system integrity and warranty. The minimum quantity required is the technical representative attendance needed to prevent further equipment damage from improper reprogramming. The document includes certification statements requiring the contracting officer to affirm that three sources were analyzed and deemed unavailable, or that only one source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106 authority.
