KAISER MSD Goulds 3196 PUMP_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting justification for a single-source acquisition of an OEM material order in support of the W.I. 0606_A_VACUUM SEWAGE SYSTEM for the Kaiser vessel. The acquisition is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold with a required shipment date of December 1, 2026 (16 weeks), and no full and open competition will be solicited. The PID number is N32205-26-SIMACQ-DSM-PM1-0219, with an independent government estimate that has been redacted.

The contracting officer has selected Option A—Only One Responsible Source—as the justification basis. The required source is identified as Mckenna Engineering/GOULDS Pumps, specifically the Goulds Pump Model 3196, which is determined to be the only responsible source due to multiple factors: exclusive licensing agreements (Mckenna Engineering is the authorized industrial distributor for ITT Goulds pumps and OEM parts), standardization requirements to maintain fleet configuration baseline per COMSCINST 4790.3 across all T-AO 187 Class vessels, and compatibility as a direct replacement part for existing equipment. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment. The memorandum includes technical and requirement certifications and contracting officer approval, with signatures redacted from the document.
