This is a Memorandum documenting justification for use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The procurement is for a Combined Brine/Air Ejector from ALFA LAVA INC, located at 5400 Int Trade Drive, Richmond, VA 23231. The required delivery date is 02/28/2026. The acquisition is justified based on a single responsible source determination, specifically citing standardization and brand name requirements. The vendor's Make/Model Number is 9841222400, and the equipment is required for standardization purposes per the Military Sealift Command's standardization initiative. The equipment is specified for use on three vessels: USNS Rappahannock, USNS Laramie, and USNS Guadalupe. The justification also notes that only this specified make/model will satisfy the Government's needs for additional units and replacement items. The requirement was identified on 11/5/2025, and the delay in submitting the requirement was attributed to technical research. Sections for anticipated dollar value of procurement and certifications/approvals are present but not completed in this document. The memorandum follows FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) provisions for single-source acquisitions under the simplified acquisition threshold.
