About this file
This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a sole source or limited source acquisition justification for a federal contract under the simplified acquisition threshold.
The acquisition concerns VITON LTFW Butterfly Valve Seat Replacements required for material purchase for USNS Lucy Stone FY 26 PSA - W1-551. The required delivery date is July 1, 2026, with a period of performance ending October 12, 2026. The contracting officer has determined that only VITON brand parts satisfy the Government's needs. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1 and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The independent government estimate amount is redacted in the document.
The justification for sole source procurement is based on standardization per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline. The memorandum identifies VITON as the required make and model, with USNS Robert F. Kennedy (T-AO 208) listed as another vessel equipped with this same make and model. The determination selection is noted as Option B: BRAND NAME, with standardization cited as the primary basis. The document includes certification and approval sections requiring signatures from the requester, a level higher than the requester, and the contracting officer, confirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification.
