This document is a Memorandum for the Record (MFR) justifying a non-competitive acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The procurement is for new manufactured replacement messenger reels for HAWSER REEL, specifically for the UNREP Repair Parts in support of 1058_A_TAO187-CSI-HAULING with All T-AO 187 Class ships. Schoellhorn-Albrecht Machine Co., Inc. is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole source provider for these parts, with the requirement determined to be a direct replacement for existing equipment.

The document details the procurement under FAR 13.106 guidelines, which allow solicitation from a single source when circumstances warrant, such as exclusive licensing agreements or brand-specific requirements. The equipment is not designated as critical ship equipment, and the acquisition is intended to maintain fleet configuration baseline. The memorandum includes sections for justifying the sole source procurement, identifying the specific product details, and providing certifications and approvals for the acquisition.
