Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (SOLE OR LIMITED SOURCE)

Ref: (a) USNS Henry J. Kaiser Procurement Request No(s): N213075352V033

(b) Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1

The supplies or services required under this requisition are available from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy the Government's need. There is a reasonable basis to conclude that the Government's minimum needs can only be satisfied by unique supplies or services available only from one or a limited number of suppliers with unique capabilities. The following justification applies.

An acquisition that uses a brand name (Furuno, Motorola, Vidmar) or other description to specify a particular brand name, product or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited.

Beyond that, if you choose to limit the number of sources of a particular brand name/OEM, the procurement is “sole/limited source,” which is more difficult to justify. However, if the specification is brand name or equal, then the procurement is competitive.

Describe the item and/or services required:

Known Source(s) for the item or services: List the source(s) (offeror(s)/vendor(s)) who are known to be able to provide the above described item and/or services.

Check which of the following applies:

"ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE" (example: OEM technical representative)

"LIMITED SOURCE" (example: multiple OEM authorized technical representatives)

"BRAND NAME SOLE SOURCE" (example: OEM replacement part)

X "BRAND NAME LIMITED SOURCE" (example: multiple OEM authorized part distributors)

1. This determination for single/limited source procurement for this requirement is based on one or more of the following.

Select all that apply:

A. RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The existence of proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes make the required item or service available from only one source.

Explain what is subject to restrictive rights such as proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes:
