About this file

This memorandum documents a limited source justification for a planned sole source award. The Navy's Military Sealift Command intends to overhaul, refurbish, and recondition 47 connecting rods for Bergen diesel engines aboard the USNS Pecos. Only three companies are authorized service providers for this proprietary Bergen equipment: MSHS, Eriksen Diesel Repair, and Rolls Royce. The justification cites the need to use an original equipment manufacturer-recognized service center to maintain the specialized equipment. No further details are provided on pricing, response timelines, or other procurement terms.

MEMORANDUM

Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN ACQUISITION UNDER

THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

Ref: (a) PR Number(s):

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

a) the name of the required source or brand name
