This document is a Justification for Urgency (Simplified Acquisitions) form for procuring an on-site Technical Representative (Tech-Rep) for a STBD anchor windlass windlass system and hydraulic system located in Sasebo, Japan. The urgent procurement is for Supreme Integrated Technology INC CS Controls Division, the only authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), to provide technical support. The required delivery date is 12/1/2025, stemming from a casualty onboard spanning from frame damage on 20 AUG 2025, which impacted several ship's critical systems and delayed the project team's timeline. The minimum requirement is the current quantity being requested, which is necessary to ensure the ship's safety, critical operational effectiveness, station keeping, emergency anchoring, and mandatory regulatory compliance. The procurement is being processed as a sole source due to proprietary rights and the OEM's unwillingness to release technical drawings for manufacturing with other vendors.
