LUCY STONE Convection Oven JnA_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for a simplified acquisition below the simplified acquisition threshold.

The memorandum authorizes the purchase of a Convection Oven, Blodgett model MARK-V-112-H-NSU from G.S. Blodgett LLC for material procurement supporting USNS LUCY STONE FY 26 PSA (WI 0624). The required delivery date is July 1, 2026, with a period of performance ending October 12, 2026. The product is identified as not being critical ship equipment. The justification for limiting competition to a single source is based on standardization requirements. Per COMSCINST 4790.3, only the specified Blodgett make and model satisfies the Government's needs for maintaining fleet configuration baseline for additional units or replacement items. The same convection oven model is installed on USNS ROBERT F. KENNEDY. The contracting officer has determined that the circumstances of this contract action deem only one source reasonably available, consistent with FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 requirements for documenting single-source justifications for acquisitions not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Technical/requirement certification is provided confirming the accuracy of the justification facts and representations.
