Brand Name JA RFK Air Compressor.pdf

This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) memorandum dated 21 May 2025 for a Quincy Air Compressor procurement. The document justifies a sole-source acquisition for a specific air compressor for the USNS ROBERT F. KENNEDY (T-AO 208) under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Key justification reasons include critical ship equipment standardization and brand-specific requirements, specifically citing the Quincy QGD-30 model as the only acceptable air compressor for the vessel.

The procurement is intended for the Government Furnished Material (GFM) for WI 531 USNS ROBERT F. KENNEDY T-AO 208 PSA, with a required delivery date of 4 AUGUST 2025. The document notes that only Quincy Compressor and K5 Defense are identified as potential sources, and the acquisition is justified under FAR provisions allowing limited competition due to standardization, critical ship equipment needs, and the requirement being within the simplified acquisition threshold.
