About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Memorandum to the File for a sole-source acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold for Distributors of U.S. Tsubaki Industrial, LLC. The procurement is for a Tsubaki 35SSR100 chain to be used on submarines, specifically to refresh a work platform and complete equipment installations/movements with a roller chain for gearing/lifting the winch/lift on the cart. The required delivery date is 11/04/2025.

The justification for using a single source is based on two key factors: brand name requirement and exclusive licensing agreements. The document indicates that if the specific Tsubaki chain is not purchased, a redesign effort would be required, which would involve significant time and cost. The estimated redesign would take considerable effort to modify existing configurations, potentially causing delays in contract parts procurement. The Contracting Officer has approved the sole-source procurement, digitally signing the document on 2025.07.22, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for limited competition.
