MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE M62613-FY22-SSBN-02

Subj: JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION FOR A FAR PART 13 ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED

ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement (or portion of the requirement to be sole-sourced) is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

The Portal Crane, OZ12631H, was manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Industries Material Handling Systems Co., Ltd. Maintenance and inspection of the crane must be conducted by the manufacturer or its affiliate. We have stored two sets of gantry reducers and motors in our heavy-shop as a spare part, but we have been recommended to overhaul these reducers and motors in case of an emergency. The following service is required to maintain the normal and stable operation since it has been passed 16 years after the first installation of this portal crane.

1. Overhaul two sets of gantry reducers and motors for gantry travel equipment at the reducer manufacture’s factory.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

A. ✔ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. ✔ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI) is the copyright holder of blueprints, technical documents, and design specifications of the portal crane. Other companies are unable to provide necessary maintenance and certification as prescribed by the

OEM.

2. ✔ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

3. OTHER REASONS.

B. BRAND NAME

Items required must be a brand name, product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

C. URGENT AND COMPELLING.
