This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition memorandum dated 12/27/2024 for the procurement of a Belzona super wrap kit for LTFW Cooler SW outlet pipe repair mitigation on a T-AKE vessel, with a period of performance through 09/30/2025.

The justification cites restrictive rights and critical ship equipment as the key reasons for limited competition. The required item is critical ship equipment where failure poses hazard risks, and must meet standardization requirements for the T-AKE Class vessel (ABS approved). Only OEM-authorized distributors can provide the Belzona kit, as non-OEM parts could result in equipment failure. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) does not have manufacturing and technical information to evaluate non-OEM alternatives, and the OEM distributor has exclusive access to provide parts and technical data required for USCG and ABS certification maintenance. The procurement follows MSC's standardization initiative requiring specific make/model equipment to maintain configuration and compatibility.
