This is a Memorandum for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an Acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The document requests filters and detectors for the USNS ROBERT E PEARY (T-AKE 5) with PR Numbers N23195-5120-S035 & S036. The required delivery date is 06/20/2025, and the intended use is for inventory restock and DTO repair parts for equipment maintenance.

The suggested source of supply is GE ENERGY POWER CONVERSION USA INC., located in Imperial, PA. The procurement is justified under several grounds, including standardization/brand name (for a Tandem Propulsion Motor Assembly specific to T-AKE class ships), and the fact that MSC does not have manufacturing and technical information to evaluate non-OEM component equivalence. The document emphasizes that T-AKE engines require special tools and technical expertise unique to these engines, and only approved providers are authorized to work on this sophisticated equipment.
