This document is a Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition for a sole-source procurement by the U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka. The embassy requires supplies and services to repair malfunctioning security gates, with Tymetal Corporation identified as the sole manufacturer capable of performing the repairs. The estimated contract value is $147,679.00.

The gates have rendered embassy vehicles inoperable, and the complex design necessitates manufacturer intervention. Tymetal Corporation will manufacture parts, send a team to repair the gates, and provide training to embassy personnel to prevent future issues. The justification cites 41 USC 253(c)(1) for sole source procurement, noting no other vendor was found locally or in the USA who could manufacture the parts and conduct the repairs. Both the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) and the embassy have evaluated the costs and believe them reasonable, with the repair and training expected to take approximately three weeks.
