Other than Full and Open Memo_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum for the Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an Acquisition Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, dated 23MAY2024. The procurement is for an American Fan VANEAXIAL Fan for a SCBA Compressor, to be installed on the USS FRANK CABLE with a delivery date of 30JAN2026. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the fan being the authorized OEM with established proprietary rights, and being the only source capable of providing the required parts for this specific military sealift command equipment.

The document highlights that American Fan is the main source for the SCBA Compressor, and the item is critical ship equipment where failure could pose a hazard to the ship, crew, or environment. The procurement is being pursued under standardization and brand name requirements, with the specific make/model XA3A4W5 VANEAXIAL FANASSY being the only approved version to install, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment configurations for the Trans-Alt vessel.
