Redacted SPERRE SSJ.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a justified single-source procurement decision for a simplified acquisition under the federal threshold. The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available for the required acquisition.

The requirement is for SPERRE Air Compressor Overhaul Parts intended for SPERRE Air Compressors Overhaul, with a required delivery date of 8.31.2026. The source or brand name required is Lee Engineering Supply Co, Inc. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment. The contracting officer has selected "ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE" as the determination basis. The justification for single sourcing is supported by multiple factors: (1) restrictive proprietary rights—SPERRE Air Power AS/Lee Engineering Supply Co owns proprietary rights to the SPERRE Air Compressors system drawings; (2) exclusive licensing agreements—SPERRE Air Power AS/Lee Engineering Supply Co, Inc sells direct only through SPERRE (Cage: N1016, preferred) or Lee (Cage: 6U438); (3) standardization requirements per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline, with only the specified make and model (1. Air Compressor Ships Service Model HV2/270A, 2. Air Comp) satisfying government needs for additional or replacement units on T-AKE 1 Class vessels; and (5) other reasons—the OEM-specific SPERRE/Lee Air Compressor system must be maintained to preserve operational durability and can only be replaced during a maintenance availability. The Technical/Requirement Certification section has been redacted in the document.
