About this file
This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for VITON LTFW Butterfly Valve Seat Replacements under the simplified acquisition threshold.
The acquisition is for material purchases supporting the USNS Lucy Stone FY 26 PSA (contract W1-551), with a required delivery date of July 1, 2026 and period of performance ending October 12, 2026. The required source is VITON, identified as a brand-name product. The justification cites standardization requirements per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline, noting that only the specified VITON make and model will satisfy the Government's needs for replacement items. The USNS Robert F. Kennedy (T-AO 208) is identified as another vessel utilizing this same make and model. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The PID number is N32205-26-SIMACQ-DSM-PM1-0142, and the independent Government estimate has been redacted from the document. Technical certification and contracting officer approval signatures are required but have been redacted. The justification documents the contracting officer's determination that only one source is reasonably available, satisfying FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 requirements for simplified acquisitions.
