JUSTIFICATIONANDAPPROVAL

FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Activity: Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command Norfolk (MSC) Norfolk.

2. Description of Action Being Approved: Award of a firm-fixed price contract to TTS Marine, Inc. to provide authorized manufacturer's technical representatives to visit various T-AKEs to inspect anchor windlasses, review ship's force maintenance actions, and review ship’s force operating procedures.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: This requirement covers providing authorized manufacturer's technical representatives to visit various T-AKEs to inspect anchor windlasses, review ship's force maintenance actions, and review ship’s force operating procedures. The action executed under this J&A has an estimated value using M&R funding.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition: "The Statutory Authority for this procurement is 41 U.S.C. 1901(e)(2) as implemented by FAR Part 13.501(a), Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, Sole Source including Brand Name."

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority: As stated in the SMS procedure 10.6-002-ALL the anchor windlasses are listed as critical equipment. OEM representative has access to proprietary drawings and design data to determine if anchor windlasses are operating at full operational requirements. There have been four CASREPs of T-AKE Anchor windlasses required ships to operate for prolonged periods with just one operational windlass. The failure of the remaining windlass would have left ships in a C-4 condition for an extended period of time while waiting for long lead time replacement parts to schedule a repair.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable:

The Government intends to synopsize and to post a request for quotations (RFQ) at the Government Point of Entry, FedBizOpps website, with the intent of awarding a firm-fixed-price contract to TTS Marine, Inc.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost: The Contracting Officer will determine that the price is fair and reasonable pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 13.106-3.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition: For the reasons set forth in paragraph 5, services are required to be provided by TTS Marine, Inc. If another potential source emerges, MSC Norfolk will assess at that time whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
