MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

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 Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island (MCSF-BI) Police Department has a requirement for four Yamaha 250cc outboards to replace existing outboards that have reached end of life. The outboards will be installed in the security boats used to patrol the surrounding waterways of MCSF-BI.

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.

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. The installation currently owns and operates two security boats that are already outfitted with Yamaha outboards as part of its fleet which has stood up to the day to day wear and tear by the employees.

B. _X__ BRAND NAME

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

Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition FAR Part 13 Acquisitions under the SAT

V 1.3 (28 June 2018)

BIC-22-002

This request is for the acquisition of four 250cc Yamaha outboards, a Brand Name Only requirement. MCSF-BI Police Department patrol boats, 25 foot Defenders, are currently outfitted with Yamaha outboards and Yamaha compatible equipment and parts. Both boats, inclusive of all equipment, parts and accessories, is serviced by a Yamaha Master Technician under Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract M6700420D0004, a competed effort. To conform to the requirements in the referenced Boat Maintenance contract and ensure continued compatibility, it is determined that the procurement of Yamaha brand specific outboards is in the best interest of the Government. The purchase of another brand of outboards may jeopardize the interoperability of equipment and parts currently installed on the boats and ultimately result in mechanical malfunctions. Mechanical malfunctions will disable the boats and cripple base security, therefore, putting operations at MCSF-BI at risk.

C. ___URGENT AND COMPELLING. The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:

2. Required delivery date/period of performance:

3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required:
