MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

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

UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCE:

Electro Lift Inc Clifton, NJ 07013

CAGE: 92748

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 2 Electro Lift Electric Load Hoists, M 12055A SH5. The hoist will be used in the SP22 Davit LCR SPALT 2631. The Davit is a piece of SP22 support equipment for the SSBN submarines that acts similar to a crane. The Electric load hoist from Electrolift will be used in the SP22 Davit LCR SPALT 2631. When the item arrives at Crane, it will be gathered with other Davit components and shipped to SWFLANT in Kingsbay, GA. The item will then be assembled with the other components to complete the DAVIT LCR SPALT. The Davit is a piece of SP22 support equipment for the SSBN submarines. The Davit preforms crane like operations in support of the SSBN.

The Electric load hoist is an electrically powered lifting hoist. This component is the main item that allows the Davit to perform lifting operations. By winding and unwinding the main lifting cable around its drum the hoist is capable of lifting or lowering an attached load, similar to a crane.

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

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

A. 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. ___ 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.

Identify the OEM and explain the circumstances surrounding why the item or service is only available from the OEM.

OR

3. ___ OTHER REASONS. Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.

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

Electro Lift was chosen to be the supplier of the hoist because this particular item is currently on the fielded Davits and has proven successful over their life.

There are currently spare parts and supplies for this particular manufacturer and item in supply.

The Davit SPALT modifications have been designed with this particular manufacturer and item number, if a different manufacturer and item number is used an additional 80 hours of engineering labor and 40 hours of drafting labor will be required to incorporate changes. This particular brand and item allows known maintenance procedures to be followed and to capitalize on current field knowledge. If another manufacturer or item is used, an additional 40 hours of tech pub labor to create new maintenance drawings will be required. An approximate 120 hours of training/ loss productivity will also be incurred. In addition to the time spent, it would incur in costs in finding other material compatible with a different load hoist.

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
