This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) memorandum dated 1/30/2025 for the procurement of fire doors from Trident Maritime Systems, LLC. The document justifies sole source procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The requirement is for fire doors with a Required Delivery Date of 6/01/2025. The justification is based on Trident Maritime Systems being the only responsible source due to proprietary rights to the drawings and materials, exclusive licensing as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with no authorized distributors, and classification as critical ship equipment under SMS Procedure Number N0700-106.00-T-AKE Revision 4. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) lacks the manufacturing and technical information required to evaluate non-OEM components and replacement parts. Trident Maritime Systems has exclusive access to the equipment, parts, service information and technical drawings required for proper maintenance and repair.
