Memo to File. Other than Full and Open Comp_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold procurement. The contracting officer is procuring a transformer and installation service for a Gulmay 450 X-ray unit from Newco, Inc., with a delivery date of June 29, 2026 and a performance period from June 29, 2026 through June 28, 2027. The required item is an ACME general purpose transformer with specific technical specifications: encapsulated core, 15 kVA, 1-phase, 240/480 VAC primary, 120/240 VAC secondary, 60 Hz, electrostatic shield, NEMA 3R rating, and wall mount installation.

The justification is based on two grounds for sole source procurement: exclusive licensing agreements and unusual and compelling urgency. Under the exclusive licensing rationale, Newco, Inc. is identified as the only company capable of procuring and installing the ACME transformer meeting the manufacturer's specifications and parameters. The urgency justification indicates the requirement was first identified on May 20, 2026, with a critical delivery deadline of June 29, 2026. The contracting officer certifies that without this specific transformer, the Gulmay X-ray machines cannot operate, and radiography work cannot continue, creating a mission-critical gap. The document includes certification blocks for both the technical/requirements officer and the contracting officer affirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification.
