The acquisition is for Transfer Automatic switches required for material purchase for USNS Lucy Stone FY 26 - WI-310, with a required delivery date of July 1, 2026 and period of performance ending October 12, 2026. The required source or brand name is Automatic Switch Company. The switches are not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The determination is categorized as "Only One Responsible Source," indicating that multiple distributors or authorized technical representatives exist for an OEM part, but the specific brand name (Automatic Switch Company) is sole source.

The justification for the sole source determination is based on standardization requirements per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline. The specific make and model D03ATSA30 is required, with notation that other vessels equipped with this same make and model include USNS John Lewis, USNS OVP, and USNS RFK. No independent government estimate, PID number, or CASREP number has been filled in on this form. The document serves as the formal record required by FAR 12.102(a) or GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 to document the single source justification.
