This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source justification for a simplified acquisition below the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition requires various spare parts for naval equipment, specifically components supporting a pump fresh water assembly, air filter assembly, diesel engine, IFM common rails system control panel, filter fuel oil, and alternator 450V 600KW. The required delivery date is August 21, 2026. The only identified source is Fincantieri Marine Systems. The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available based on exclusive licensing agreements and technical requirements specific to equipment installed on T-EPF class vessels.

The justification identifies three primary reasons for single-source procurement: (1) exclusive licensing agreements—Fincantieri Marine Systems is the only authorized OEM with proprietary knowledge, experience, and information required to supply spare parts for the T-EPF class equipment, maintaining all proprietary rights to essential drawings and patterns while ensuring OEM warranties and company policy compliance; (2) product compatibility—the specified parts are direct replacements for existing equipment requiring compatibility with part numbers X297848VRJK/PUMP WATER ASSEMBLY, X297848VRJQ/AIR FILTER ASSEMBLY, X297848VRJT/IFM COMMOM RAIL SYS, X297848VRJH/FILTER FUEL OIL, and X297848VRJE/ALTENATOR 450V 600KW; and (3) the required products are not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The memorandum includes a certification that the facts and representations are complete and accurate to the best of the technical certifier's knowledge.
