MEMORANDUM FOR SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS (<$150K)

From: N756 Port Engineer To: Contracting Officer, Military Sealift Command

Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (SOLE OR LIMITED SOURCE)

Ref: (a) USNS WILLIAM MCLEAN (T-AKE 12) Procurement Request No(s) N29001-5305-4210

(b) Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1

The supplies or services required under this requisition are available from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy the Government's need. There is a reasonable basis to conclude that the Government's minimum needs can only be satisfied by unique supplies or services available only from one or a limited number of suppliers with unique capabilities. The following justification applies.

An acquisition that uses a brand name (Furuno, Motorola, Vidmar) or other description to specify a particular brand name, product or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited. Beyond that, if you choose to limit the number of sources of a particular brand name/OEM, the procurement is “sole/limited source,” which is more difficult to justify. However, if the specification is brand name or equal, then the procurement is competitive.

Describe the item and/or services required:

Procurement of Baldor Cargo Weapon Elevator AC Motor

Known Source(s) for the item or services: List the source(s) (offeror(s)/vendor(s)) who are known to be able to provide the above described item and/or services.

KAMAN INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES

PENINSULA ELEC MTR SERV

SOUTHEASTERN ENGINEERING SALES

ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL RESOURCES

Check which of the following applies:

__"ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE" (example: OEM technical representative)

_____ "LIMITED SOURCE" (example: multiple OEM authorized technical representatives)

_____ "BRAND NAME SOLE SOURCE" (example: OEM replacement part)

X _ "BRAND NAME LIMITED SOURCE" (example: multiple OEM authorized part distributors)

1. This determination for single/limited source procurement for this requirement is based on one or more of the following. Select all that apply:

A.__X__ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The existence of proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes make the required item or service available from only one source.

Explain what is subject to restrictive rights such as proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes: ___Baldor is the original equipment manufacturer and owns proprietary rights. ____________________________________________ As shown on the drawings, who is identified as "owning" the drawing: __Baldor ___________ Explain why the restrictive rights make the required item or service available from only one source, i.e., why another company still couldn’t satisfy the Government’s need: _Baldor is the only qualified source that supplies Standard Navy cargo weapons elevator motors to the U.S.

Navy.

B. _____ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. Due to exclusive licensing agreements and arrangements, the required repair/spare parts and/or technical representative services are only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or ONLY ONE authorized distributor or technical representative.

Identify the OEM (i.e., Motorola; Schat Harding) ____________________________ Attach evidence of the exclusive licensing agreement.

C.__X__ CRITICAL SHIP EQUIPMENT. The required item is critical ship equipment the failure of which poses a hazard to the ship, the crew and/or the environment.

Provide the SMS procedure number _10.6-002-ALL___ o Describe how it applies to the critical piece of equipment_ Cargo Weapons Elevators; Failure of Cargo Weapons Elevator Motors reduce the ability of the T-AKE’s to meet their replenishment and ammo/cargo stowage mission in support of the US Navy.

D.__X__ STANDARDIZATION. In accordance with MSC's standardization initiative, only the specified make and model of equipment/parts will satisfy the Government's needs for additional units or replacement items, and only one source is available. (i.e., ship currently has 10 Motorola radios onboard and five more need to be purchased to bring onboard allowances up to 15). Provide the following information:

Identify Make: Baldor and Model Number 801641-505B Identify other ships that have this same Make and Model Number: Baldor motor is a Standard Navy motor. All U.S. Navy ships with a Cargo Weapons Elevator that use a 150hp motor.

E. __X__FORM, FIT AND FUNCTION. The required items are direct replacement parts/components for existing equipment and must be compatible in terms of form, fit and function with existing equipment/configurations. Provide the following information:

Identify Make: Baldor and Model Number 801641-505B of existing onboard equipment.

Describe how new equipment must be compatible with existing ship's configurations (i.e., piping, cabling, etc): This procurement of a Baldor motor is to replace existing Ward Leonard/Mawdsleys motor that are plagued with deceleration problems and spurious grounds. Because of excessive cargo weapons elevator motor failures across the T-AKE fleet, MSC and NAVSEA have collaborated and decided that the best alternative to mitigate the unacceptably high motor failure rate is to replace the existing Ward Leonard/Mawdsley electric motors with Baldor motors. The Baldor motor is used exclusively in all cargo weapons elevator applications in the U.S. Navy with favorable results and a low failure rate. The Baldor motor has the same fit form and function as the existing Ward Leonard/Mawsdley motor in that is has the same envelope and footprint, and is a direct drop in replacement. This Baldor motor will be the T-AKE fleet-wide replacement for all Ward Leonard/Mawdsley motors for MSC's cargo weapons elevator applications. USNS WILIAM MCLEAN is the first ship of the T-AKE Class to change its cargo weapons elevator motors from Ward Leonard/Mawdsley to Baldor.

F. ______ UNIQUE FEATURES. Similar products lack features that are necessary to meet the Government's minimum needs (i.e., Furuno radar vs. Raytheon radar). Provide the following information:

Identify the required features that are lacking from the competitor's product:

G. __X _ OTHER REASONS. Other reasons not identified above (i.e., statutory requirement such as harbor pilot services): ): MSC does not have manufacturing and technical information required to evaluate and determine whether non-OEM service and replacement parts offered are equivalent to the OEM components and replacement parts.
