JA 26Q7226 Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a contracting decision to use other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition below the threshold. The acquisition (PID Number N32205-26-SIMACQ-DSM-PM8-0273) is for Sauer Compressor parts to purchase ISO USNS Yuma compressor maintenance, with a required delivery date of March 1, 2027. The product is intended for industrial assistance maintenance and is not designated as critical ship equipment.

The contracting officer has determined that only one responsible source is available under the standardization justification per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline. The specific brand name product required is Sauer Compressors, model WP22L, as other Efficient Patrol Force (EPF) vessels utilize this same make and model. The decision is based on the need to maintain compatibility and standardization across the fleet. The memorandum references FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 requirements for documenting sole source or limited source justifications for acquisitions not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The independent government estimate amount is redacted. Section 4 (Certifications and Approvals) is also redacted in the document.
