This is a Memorandum for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an Acquisition Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The document details a procurement for Osprey Valve components needed for Overhauling Sea Valves (WI 0956), with a required delivery date of September 30, 2026. Tork Systems is identified as a known vendor, and the procurement is being conducted as a sole-source acquisition due to Osprey Valve's proprietary rights over the valve-related data and being the only manufacturer who can produce these specific items.

The justification for the sole-source procurement includes Osprey Valve owning proprietary data related to their valves and being the sole vendor who can manufacture these items. The valves are intended for T-AH Class vessels, and the procurement emphasizes that these are direct replacement parts that must be compatible with existing equipment configurations. Additionally, the document notes that MSC (Military Sealift Command) does not have the technical knowledge to evaluate non-OEM Osprey Valve branded items, further supporting the sole-source approach.
