MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

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

UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCE:

Cone Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684

CAGE: 97674

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:

This action requests authority for Brand name sole source procurement of quantity 8 Cone drive worm reducer HV30A426 7A. The worm reducer

The worm reducer is part of the slewing system of the Davit which takes the force applied to a handle by the user and turns it into rotational force on a gear. The slewing system allows the Davit to rotate about its center axis, so it can service 4 missile tubes without needing to be remounted on the submarine deck.

This worm reducer made by Cone Drive was used on the previous versions of the Davit that have been in service with the Navy . All maintenance, repair, procedure, use, and working manuals are based off of this design. Buying this worm reducer allows interchangeability between old and new versions of the Davit while in use and allows our sailors to be able to train with new or old units. If we were forced to use another model of worm reducer, the Navy would have to take all out of the fleet to replace them all at once, leading to being offline. In addition to the time being down, SWIP Tracking No. SGXW218470
