This document is a Memorandum for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an Acquisition Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The procurement is for wire rope from Jered LLC, a sole source vendor, for installation on TRANSALT TAH 19-18002 on an elevator (Elevator No. 8). The specific wire rope is 5/8" diameter, 8x19 Fiber Core traction steel with a breaking strength of 8,200 pounds and weighing 0.20 of a pound per foot, intended as a one-to-one replacement for the existing elevator rope.

The document justifies the sole source procurement based on Jered LLC's proprietary data and being the only vendor who can manufacture these specific wire ropes. The required delivery date is 05 January 2026, and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) will provide wire rope certification and verify elevator installation completion. The procurement is for a T-AH Class vessel, specifically for Group III, Elevator No. 8 Fram 71, and is being pursued under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold with limited competition due to the vendor's exclusive manufacturing capabilities.
