This document is a Memorandum for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an Acquisition Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The procurement is for a Single Centripetal Pump, Complete, Handle Connection Piece Welded, to be sourced from GEA Mechanical Equipment US, Inc. GEA Westfalia Separator Division. The pump is needed for the #1 Fuel Oil Purifier with a required delivery date of 9/30/25. The estimated production lead time is 30 working days, and the procurement is identified as a ship board requirement.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on standardization and critical ship equipment needs. The document indicates that only one source will be solicited due to the specific make/model requirements, and the item is considered critical ship equipment where the failure could pose a hazard to the ship, crew, or environment. The procurement appears to be for a military or naval application, with the contracting officer determining that only one source is reasonably available for this specific equipment.
