This document is a Memorandum for the Record justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a single-source acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition concerns line shaft bearing seals required for replacement purposes, with a required delivery date of 01 July 2026. The specified source or brand name is RENK. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment. The contracting officer determined that only one responsible source is available based on standardization requirements. Specifically, the justification relies on COMSC INST 4790.3, which requires that only the specified make and model (LRZPN60-553) of equipment parts will satisfy the Government's needs for additional units or replacement items for all T-AKE class ships. The memorandum indicates that the item is particular to one manufacturer, making it the sole source reasonably available. The acquisition is documented under PID Number N32205-26-SIMACQ-DSM-N7-0405 and is certified as accurate and complete by the contracting officer as of 18 May 2026.
