Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN

ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Procure the following Ammo Strikedown Elevator components, which are identified on ships’ technical manual and drawings (SW323-AJ-MMA-010 Rev 6, 167-6218631 Rev AA, 50302071, listed in attached work item 712-10-001) as commercial procurement and not carried in the stock system. These are required to complete work in upcoming DSRA in conjunction with work item 712-10-001 for the 5”/54

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

A. __X__ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. ___ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. _X__ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

IAW a letter from Jered LLC, “Jered LLC (cage code 98523) has no authorized distributors or repair facilities. Our products are considered sole source as the OEM for all equipment manufactured by Jered LLC, Jered Brown Brothers, Unidynamics Inc., New England Trawler Equipment Company, American Heavy Industries and Gulf Coast

These parts are a direct replacement of existing parts.

3. ___ OTHER REASONS.

B. _____ BRAND NAME. Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

C. UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY. The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:

2. Required delivery date/period of performance:

3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required:

4. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.
