About this file
This is a memorandum justifying the use of single-source procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold, dated March 26, and referencing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i).
The procurement concerns repairs to a Cargo Control Console by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The identified sole source vendor is Electronic Marine Systems Inc. The justification is based on restrictive rights, with EMS identified as the OEM for the cargo control console and no known outside vendors available to provide the required repairs. The determination cites that EMS holds proprietary rights and exclusive manufacturing authority over the equipment, making it the only responsible source capable of performing the necessary repairs. The document includes standard certification language requiring technical and requirement certification affirming the completeness and accuracy of the justification. The anticipated dollar value of the procurement is redacted, as is the PR number, requirement identification date, required delivery date, estimated production lead time, and CASREP number. The document also contains signature blocks for technical certification and contracting officer approval, though these are not completed in the version shown.

__ UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY: The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would injure the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:
Date on which the requirement was identified: ________________
Required delivery date / Period of Performance: ________________
If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting the requirement.
