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 (or portion of the requirement to be sole-sourced) is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Marine Depot Maintenance Command (MDMC) is requesting the procurement of MXL15C15 Gigavac/Sensata Contactor Relays in support of their retrofit of equipment that will abide by the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).

V 1.6 (20 December 2023)

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

The specifications for the use of Gigavac/Sensata brand contactor relays were mandated by Marine Corps Systems Command’s designs that MDMC must comply with for the retrofitting of equipment. Due to this and the market research results, Gigavac/Sensata is the only brand compatible to fulfill the entirety of MDMC’s requirement while allowing for the opportunity of adequate competition.

C. ___URGENT AND COMPELLING. 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:
