This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for a federal procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The contracting officer is procuring Kit D, WP5000 8000HR Maintenance for WI 533 HPAC Service for Grasp's 2027 ROH/DD, with a required delivery date of November 11, 2026. The intended use is for the WI 533 HPAC Service for Grasp's 2027 ROH/DD, and the required source or brand name is SAUER Compressors USA, Inc. The acquisition justification is based on only one responsible source being available. The product required is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL.

The determination for sole source procurement is supported by standardization and compatibility justifications. Under the brand name category, standardization per COMSCINST 4790.3 is cited to maintain fleet configuration baseline, specifying only the COMPRESSOR, HP WP5000 make and model will satisfy the Government's needs for additional units or replacement items. Other vessels with this same make and model include T-ARS Class vessels. Additionally, compatibility is documented, confirming the product is a direct replacement part for existing equipment and must be compatible with the COMPRESSOR, HP WP5000. The memorandum was prepared in accordance with FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 requirements for documenting limited source availability determinations.
