About this file
This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a sole source acquisition justification for parts required to support a 10-year crane service on USNS Yuma. The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available due to circumstances of urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or items particular to one manufacturer, in accordance with FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4.
The requirement is for parts to buy for 10-year crane service on USNS Yuma, with a required delivery date of 03MAR2027 and intended use for periodic industrial assistance maintenance. The required source or brand name is Appleton Marine Inc. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The justification is based on two primary factors: (1) Restrictive Rights—Appleton is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for EPF deck cranes and holds proprietary rights and proprietary information regarding parts, warranty, maintenance procedures, and knowledge required for crane parts in accordance with ABS requirements; and (2) Exclusive Licensing Agreements—the item or service is only available from the OEM, as Appleton holds the necessary proprietary information and knowledge as the OEM for EPF deck cranes. The document indicates that another company could not satisfy the Government's need due to these restrictions. The acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
