P2. Sole source justification-1_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum to the File for a sole source acquisition justification for a 3EA Lance to be used with an APS 55K PSI Unit for removing MIP from an exterior hull. The manufacturer is APS Pressure Systems located in Houston, TX, with a required delivery date of 06/30/2025. The justification is based on "Other Reasons" where APS does not allow after-market lances to be connected and used with their equipment, and safety testing has not been performed and approved for other lance types.

The document indicates that the previous model lance used with the equipment is now obsolete, and NAVSEA provided emergent funding to procure new lances. If a different model/unit is purchased, it may not meet the exact specifications and cannot be utilized at PHYSY&IMF. The memorandum follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for justifying a procurement from a single source, specifically citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) which allows solicitation from one source under certain circumstances such as urgency or exclusive licensing agreements.
