This document is a Memorandum justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a sole source acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The procurement is for Spurs Marine Mfg. T-AO Line Cutter Repairs (2.5 YR) for the USNS GUADALUPE, specifically the LV-60/48R, P/N 506 Line Cutter System. The required source is Spurs Marine Mfg., located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, with a required delivery date of 05/16/2025 and performance period from 06/01/2025 to 09/080/2025.

The justification for sole source is based on Spurs being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary rights to all dimensional, material, and manufacturing details for these critical ship equipment parts. The procurement is classified as critical ship equipment where failure could pose a hazard to the ship, crew, or environment. The document cites MSC's standardization initiative, noting the Line Cutter System is specific to T-AO Class vessels, and obtaining parts from alternative sources is not possible.
