This document is a Memorandum justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a federal contract acquisition. The procurement is for an EATON S811+ V65N3S SOFT STARTER, specifically for troubleshooting and repairs to a vessel's JP5 cargo pump, to be delivered by 23 OCT 2025. The sole source vendor is JO-KELL, INC., a distributor of Eaton products for Westinghouse Electric Corp.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on multiple factors, including restrictive rights (proprietary rights), standardization/brand name requirements, and form-fit-function compatibility. The procurement is deemed urgent, as without the soft starter, the vessel will not be able to effectively perform uninterrupted operations. The item is needed for ALL TA-O 187 CLASS VESSELS, and the CASREP (Casualty Reporting) number associated with this procurement is 25-040.
