About this file
This is a memorandum to file documenting a determination that only one source is reasonably available for a simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) purchase under FAR Part 13.
The acquisition is for white leather gloves and white cotton gloves in multiple sizes (ranging from XXS to XL). The sole source identified is T & M Manufacturing, with a total estimated value of $95,903.50 and a requested delivery date of April 1, 2027. The justification for sole sourcing is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as T & M Manufacturing is the only authorized distributor or technical representative in accordance with the Marine Barracks Washington Uniform Order and is the only company capable of meeting the specified requirements with required approval numbers (00150, 001502, 001503, 001504). Market research confirmed that other companies were contacted but unable to satisfy the requirements. The memorandum indicates this acquisition is for Department of Defense use and establishes that competition is not being sought for this requirement, as permitted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the SAT when circumstances deem only one source reasonably available.
