This is a Memorandum to the File documenting the justification for using other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i).

PHNSY&IMF seeks a contractor to provide overhaul services for one R-114 Air Conditioning Plant compressor/motor, with an estimated contract value not specified in the document. The period of performance runs from June 29, 2026 to September 30, 2026. The acquisition is justified on the basis of only one responsible source being available. Two primary factors support this determination: (1) Restrictive Rights—Johnson Controls holds proprietary ownership of drawings, testing equipment, and repair processes required for overhaul and technical support of the equipment; and (2) Exclusive Licensing Agreements—Johnson Controls is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the components requiring repairs and possesses proprietary ownership of the drawings, testing equipment, and repair processes necessary for troubleshooting, lessons learned, technical support, and operational testing of the refrigeration air conditioning (R-114) system. The memorandum was technically certified on May 29, 2026 and approved on June 11, 2026 by Lynn Imperial.
