II.P-2. JML Attachment - Sole Source_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File documenting the justification for use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase.

The memorandum justifies a single-source procurement from Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Division (located at 1000 Wright Way, Cheswick, PA 15024; phone 724-275-5000) for repair parts needed for an HDC recycle pump. The required parts include a diffusor, shaft sleeve, stuffing boxes, carrier, cone, and labyrinth seal (part numbers 14600N18, 14615N18, 14614N18, 14613N18, 14594N18, 14616N18, and 14716N18). The required delivery date is April 10, 2026. The justification cites "Other Reasons," specifically that Curtiss-Wright is the only manufacturer of these parts. No dealer representative information is provided. The estimated cost is redacted.

The contracting officer, Angela Morelli, approved this justification on March 19, 2026, following technical certification by an EQS representative from PHNSY & IMF on March 17, 2026. The acquisition is identified as being for Department of Defense contract numbers 6050B854-6050B860 (seven contracts total). The sole-source determination is based on the unavailability of alternative sources due to Curtiss-Wright's exclusive manufacturing status, eliminating the requirement for competitive bidding under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.
