Other than Full and Open Milk_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition memorandum dated 25 MAR 2025 for a naval navigation system acquisition. The document seeks to procure an Anschutz GmbH MINS2 Dynamic Reference Unit (DRU) #1 for surface naval vessels, specifically for T-AO Class Vessels. The required delivery date is 9/30/2025, and the system provides static and dynamic reference to the gyro compass, including inertial navigation capabilities.

The justification for sole-source procurement is based on multiple factors: Anschutz owns the proprietary drawings and data system, sells parts through third-party companies, and meets the government's needs through standardization and brand-specific requirements. The acquisition is characterized as a direct replacement part that is critical to ship equipment, with the specific make/model being Anschutz/HG9740AF10. The procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold, with the Contracting Officer determining that only one source is reasonably available due to proprietary rights and standardization requirements.
