Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN

ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

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 is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Provide all necessary parts, labor, equipment, quality control, and supervision to recalibrate 50K and 600K Pull Test Machine for Crane and Rigging, BSVE, within BLDG 3509, at Naval Base San Diego, CA to ensure it is complete and ready for us. The period of performance is May 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, with a follow on option to be used if necessary of April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

A. _X__ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. ___ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

[Explain what rights are restricted, why the restrictive rights make the required item or service available from only one source, and why another company could not satisfy the Government’s need.]

2. _X__ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

Per the NAVFAC P-307, Management of Weight Handling Equipment Manual, all work, repairs, and services that are required on weight handling equipment are to be performed by an OEM certified/authorized dealer. Additionally, per the P-307, all load controlling parts that are required to be replaced must be replaced by OEM parts. Chant Engineering Company., 59 Industrial Drive, Doylestown, PA 18901-6007; CAGE: 7K419; UEI:

Y24LGAR6VGR5 is the only OEM certified/authorized dealer within San Diego, CA for testing machines for the rigging industry.

3. __ OTHER REASONS. Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.

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

C. ___UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY. 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:
