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.

AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS

a. X_ CRITICAL SHIP EQUIPMENT: The required item is critical ship equipment, the failure of which poses a hazard to the ship, the crew or the environment.

i. SMS Procedure Number: 10.6-002-01-AKE Fire Detection System equipment is included on the list of critical equipment fo the ESB class under Damage Control Equipment section

THIS COMPONENT MUST STRICTLY ADHERE TO DRAWING

SIZE AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS ORDER TO

PROPERLY INSTALL WITHIN THE VESSEL'S FIRE MAIN

SYSTEM AND TO REGULATE THE REQUIRED SYSTEM

PRESSURE.

d. X_ OTHER: Other reasons not identified above: MSC does not have manufacturing and technical information required to evaluate and determine whether non-OEM components and replacement parts offered are equivalent to the OEM components and replacement parts. The OEM rep has access to provide parts and technical data / drawings from the original manufacturer, as required to properly repair and maintain the equipment.

4. X_ 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: 7-5-2024

b. Required delivery date / Period of Performance 3-9-2026

c. If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting the requirement.

DELAYED DUE TO TECHNICAL RESEARCH.

d. Estimated production lead time: 78 WEEKS

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.) THE

VESSEL IS CURRENTLY OPERATING ITS FIRE MAIN SYSTEM WITH THIS

DEGRADED COMPONENT INSTALLED. THE ABILITY OF THE SYSTEM TO

MAINTAIN A PROPER OVERBOARD DISCHARGE BACK PRESSURE IS

REDUCED. IN THE EVENT OF A SHIPBOARD FIRE, THIS COULD RESULT IN

THE FIRE MAIN SYSTEM DELIVERING LESS THAN ADEQUATE WATER FLOW

TO END POINT FIRE STATIONS.

THE COMPONENT IS REQUIRED IN THE FASTEST POSSIBLE TIME,

BASED ON PROCUREMENT AND MANUFACTURING LEAD TIME.
