This document is a Memorandum justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a sole source acquisition. The procurement is for MacGregor steering gear for a Trans-ALT install onboard T-AO 208, with a required delivery date of 22 December 2025. The justification is based on restrictive rights, specifically that MacGregor equipment is an OEM design and manufacture of steering gear specifically designed to fit TAO-208.

The document details the procurement's rationale under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b), indicating that only one source (MacGregor) is reasonably available due to proprietary rights. The procurement is below the simplified acquisition threshold and is intended for Government Furnished Material (GFM) for PSA steering gear. The memorandum provides technical justification for why this specific equipment from MacGregor is the only suitable option, emphasizing the need for compatibility with existing ship configurations and meeting ABS and USCG rules.
