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 an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The document is for proprietary repair parts from The Entwistle Company for a Tilting Sliding Padeye system on a US Navy warship. Specifically, the parts are two floodlight assemblies with part numbers DOC 52030466 (Right Hand) and DOC 52030467 (Left Hand), with a required delivery date of 08/14/2026.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on the brand name requirement, noting that these are proprietary replacement parts necessary to ensure form, fit, function requirements, and proper operation of the system. The urgency is underscored by long component lead times of minimum 120 days ARO (After Receipt of Order), with a first identified requirement date of 08/12/2025. The document indicates that failure to acquire the material in a timely manner will affect the performance of this critical Naval asset. The memorandum is signed by an Availability Planning Manager and a Contracting Officer on 25JUL25 and 08/07/2025 respectively.
