About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JUSTIFICATION) for a sole source procurement with Rytec Corporation. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) intends to acquire door controllers to upgrade Rytec Roll-up doors aboard the USNS RICHARD E. BYRD, with Rytec Corporation being the sole source due to proprietary rights and technical limitations. The justification cites that MSC lacks the manufacturing and technical information to evaluate alternative non-OEM service providers or replacement parts, necessitating a direct procurement from the original equipment manufacturer.
The procurement is for door controllers to be installed on roll-up doors, with Rytec Corporation located in Jackson, Wisconsin. The company is identified as the only source capable of providing these specific components, with the justification highlighting restrictive rights, standardization requirements, and the inability to evaluate equivalent alternatives. The document follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for simplified acquisitions under the simplified acquisition threshold, specifically utilizing provisions that allow for single-source procurement under specific circumstances.

MEMORANDUM
Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN ACQUISITION UNDER
Ref:
THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD
(a) PR Number(s):
I. BACKGROUND:
1. In considering the references, FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contacting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that, under the circumstances of the contract action, only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing, brand-name, or industrial mobilization).
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.
II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:
1. Provide a description of the item or service required, to include
a) the name of the required source or brand name
RYTEC CORPORATION
b) the required delivery date/period of performance and
c) its intended use.
To upgrade Rytec Roll-up doors with door controllers.
2. List the source(s) or known vendor(s) who are able to provide the above described item or service.
Rytec Corporation

T: (262) 677-9046 Email: PARTS@RYTECDOORS.COM POC: Kristi Schwinn

3 Ver 2.0 (01 July 2018)
ii. Describe how the equipment must be compatible with the existing configuration.
d. X OTHER:
MSC does not have manufacturing and technical information required to evaluate and determine whether non-OEM service providers and replacement parts offered are equivalent to the OEM components and replacement parts.
4. UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY: The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would injure the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:
a. Date on which the requirement was identified:
b. Required delivery date / Period of Performance:
c. If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting the requirement.
d. Estimated production lead time:
e. Explanation of why delivery / commencement of services by the date required is needed: (explain the impact to the mission, any special circumstances or conditions, etc.)
f. CASREP Number:
IV. ANTICIPATED DOLLAR VALUE OF PROCUREMENT:
