P2. JML Attachment - J&A_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File documenting the use of other than full and open competition for a federal acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The document is for procuring an Edro Dyna Wash Model DS-16 SUB front loading open pocket washer-extractor, a 16 lb capacity washing machine specifically designed for use onboard U.S. Navy submarines as part of the S/A 688BCL Ship Alteration (i.e., S/A 464D).

The procurement is being pursued as a brand name acquisition from Edro Corporation, located in East Berlin, CT, with a required delivery date of 8/4/2025. The justification emphasizes that this specific washer-extractor model was developed exclusively for U.S. Navy submarine use, requiring modification of the ship's laundry space to accommodate its installation. The document indicates the requirement was first identified on 7/17/25, with urgency stemming from the need to ensure project schedule completion, test the new unit shipboard, and allow scheduling flexibility. The memorandum is certified by an Electrical Engineer from PHNSY & IMF and approved by Contracting Officer Angela Morrelli on 08/07/2025.
