This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) memorandum for procuring an anemometer repair service from Nav Systems Inc. for the USNS SUPPLY. The document justifies a sole-source procurement based on restrictive rights, with Nav Systems being the sole owner of the Type F Anemometer System. The procurement is for wind speed measurement equipment, specifically to address a 400 Hz system failure that has caused damage to the Anemometer (Windbird) Hz converters.

The contract is valued at an undisclosed amount, with a performance period from 15 May to 30 June 2025. The urgent procurement is driven by critical ship equipment needs, with the requirement identified on 31 March 2025 and an estimated production lead time of 12-27 days. The procurement references safety procedures for navigation (SMS Procedure Numbers 7.2.007 and 7.11.001) and is being processed through the Military Sealift Command with an estimated quick turnaround to address potential mission-critical equipment damage.
