About this file
This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for a federal contract action under the simplified acquisition threshold.
The acquisition requires an OEM Diver Davit technical representative to perform a baseline condition assessment of Diver Davit equipment. The required source is Michael Wood LLC, with an intended use of supporting the baseline condition assessment. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The memorandum documents that only one responsible source is available, specifically the OEM's authorized technical representative, due to exclusive licensing agreements. The justification cites urgency as the primary basis for the sole-source determination. The requirement was identified on 15-October-2026, with delivery/performance required by a specific date (redacted). The urgency rationale explains that crane certification by NAVSEA is necessary for mission tasking, and the specific identified technical representative is available and ready to perform the assessment. Ship scheduling and tasking uncertainty previously prevented assessment, but circumstances now permit proceeding with this single-source procurement. The memorandum includes technical certification affirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification facts and representations.
