Capstan_Tech SupportAtt_3_Redacted_1.pdf

This document is an Other Than Full and Open Competition Justification for a sole-source procurement of CAPSTAN Control Software technical support from Ultra Maritime. The procurement is for a capstan A-5 card and motor requiring grooming and troubleshooting, with an urgent acquisition rationale due to operational constraints. Key details include:

The requirement is for proprietary software and technical support from Ultra Maritime, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), with no alternative sources available. The critical need stems from the capstan system's role in ship mooring operations, where an unrepaired system would prevent unassisted mooring and create risks during heavy weather. The urgent acquisition is dated with a requirement identification date of 4/14/25 and a required delivery date of 5/30/25, necessitating immediate procurement to support undisrupted operations. The total procurement value appears to be under the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000, and the document is prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) guidelines for sole-source acquisitions.
