About this file
This document is a Memorandum to the File explaining the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The acquisition is for a Shaft Seal Assembly, awarded as a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis to Pioneer Industries, LLC for $248,958.20 on May 17, 2024. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command determined that only one responsible source, the original equipment manufacturer or authorized distributor, was available due to proprietary rights, exclusive licensing agreements, and brand name requirements. The requirement was also deemed an urgent and compelling need that would result in serious injury to the government if normal competitive procedures were followed.

MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE
(This is only applicable to acquisitions under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Acquisition using FAR Subpart 13.5 shall follow the special documentation requirements at FAR 13.501.)
Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN
ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD
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:
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.
3. OTHER REASONS.
B. BRAND NAME. Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.
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 determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:
1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:
2. Required delivery date/period of performance:
3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required:
4. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.
