This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) memorandum for a sole source procurement of a circuit breaker for the USNS ROBERT E. PEARY (T-AKE 5). The document requests a circuit breaker from Trident Maritime Systems, Inc., with a Part# F071788, quantity of 1 EA, and a required delivery date of 1 APR 2025 for general electrical maintenance throughout the ship. The procurement is justified on multiple grounds: Trident Maritime Systems owns proprietary rights to the drawings, the item is only available from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and it is critical ship equipment where the failure poses a hazard to the ship, crew, or environment.

The anticipated dollar value of the procurement is $28,750.00, and the requirement was initially identified on 25 FEB 2025. The procurement is specifically for a circuit breaker assembly, Model # 7D3-07919, which is part of the standardization initiative and is compatible with existing equipment configurations on T-AKE Class Vessels #1-14. The document notes the item is needed for cargo Weapons Elevator for ammunition onload and offload, and delays in acquiring the breaker could potentially prolong mission times. The procurement has been digitally signed and approved by multiple officials from the Military Sealift Command.
