4.03 Single Source Justifcation Posting_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying a single-source acquisition for parts from Sauer Compressors USA for Medium Pressure Air Compressors. The procurement involves 10 specific parts including cylinders, valves, washers, and fittings for 2 Medium Pressure Air Compressors onboard each LCS-1 variant, with a required delivery date of 7/31/2025. The justification is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as Sauer Compressors USA is the sole source vendor for these compressors and their parts, specifically for the Air Cooled Model Number WP-121L for LCS Class, as specified in drawing S6220-ER-MMC-010 Rev 5.

The document follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for purchases under the simplified acquisition threshold, allowing solicitation from a single source when only one source is reasonably available. The procurement is valued below the simplified acquisition threshold, and the contracting officer has determined that Sauer Compressors USA is the only authorized source for these specific compressor parts. The memorandum includes certification and approval sections, with the Contracting Officer's approval dated 28 Apr 2025, indicating this is a planned future procurement for naval equipment.
