JA 26Q7222_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a justified use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase. The acquisition involves Rolls-Royce parts for an ISO USNS YUMA MPDE heat exchanger maintenance requirement, with a required delivery date of March 1, 2027. The intended use is industrial assistance maintenance, and the item is sourced from Rolls-Royce (RR), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The contracting officer determined that only one responsible source is available, citing restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements as the justification. Specifically, Rolls-Royce is identified as the OEM for MPDE heat exchanger gasket materials, and use of non-OEM parts could void warranty protection. Rolls-Royce maintains proprietary information regarding parts, manuals, and procedures that makes the item unavailable from other sources. The document indicates the product is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1 and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The PID number for this acquisition is N32205-26-SIMACQ-DSM-PM8-0231. The independent government estimate amount is redacted in the document.
