This document is a Memorandum justifying the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The procurement is for repair parts for an AC720 Fan Coil Unit Fan for the USNS SACAGAWEA (T-AKE 2), specifically from IMECO INC/TRIDENT MARITIME SYSTEMS. The sole source justification is based on the company's proprietary rights to the drawings of the material, with the part being critical ship equipment where the failure could pose a hazard to the ship, crew, or environment. The required delivery date is 17JUN2025, with an estimated production lead time of 5 weeks. The requirement was initially identified on 05DEC2024, and the delay in submission is due to technical research. The document highlights that the air handling units are degraded beyond repair, impacting critical areas like the Cargo Fuel Test Lab and ventilation systems necessary for the ship's firefighting capabilities.
