use of other than full and open_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a determination to use other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition below the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition concerns Fire Door Spare Parts required for GFM for WI 574A, with a required delivery date of April 1, 2027. The specified required source is Von Duprin. The determination establishes that only one responsible source is reasonably available, with the requirement not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The memorandum identifies the product is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL.

The basis for the single-source determination is Brand Name under Standardization provisions. The contracting officer has determined that to maintain fleet configuration baseline, only the specified Von Duprin Fire Door Material make and model will satisfy the Government's needs for additional units or replacement items. This standardization requirement also applies to other vessels with the same make and model (T-AH Class). Additionally, the Fire Door Material is a direct replacement part for existing equipment and must be compatible with Von Duprin equipment currently installed. The memorandum references PID Number N32205-27-SIMACQ-DSM-PM4-0021 and was prepared on 21 September 2026.
