JXM0042 - NonComp Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The procurement involves the purchase of (640) MP2-H150-51S3-S-KR Connectors and (768) MP2-SS150-51S1-KR Connectors from 3M Company in Maplewood, Minnesota, for a total cost that is redacted. The justification is based on the "Brand Name" criteria, indicating these specific connectors are critical to an ongoing program and have been used for over a decade.

Key details include a last time buy date of 12/15/25 for these connectors, with changing the connector requiring significant redesign that would cause production/shipment delays. The document is signed by Nicholas Walton on 10/30/2025 for technical certification and by Amy Haworth on 11/03/2025 as the Contracting Officer approving the sole-source procurement. The CAGE code for 3M Company is 76381, and the procurement is being processed under the simplified acquisition threshold, which allows solicitation from a single source under certain circumstances.
