This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) memorandum dated 17 DEC 2024 for the USNS ROBERT E PEARY (T-AKE 5) to procure a vane axial fan (FAN, VANEAXIAL BCS-135,A4,CW,TH,184T) from American Fan Company. The requirement is for an M6 Engineers Workshop Fan with delivery required by 17 FEB 2025.

The justification cites restrictive rights (American Fan Company owns proprietary drawings) and standardization/brand name requirements as the basis for limited competition. The procurement is also justified under unusual and compelling urgency due to the existing fan's inoperability from heavy degradation, with an estimated 2-week production lead time. The requirement was identified on 11 NOV 2024 and delayed due to technical research. The specific model required is American Fan Company MFR ID-BM043635, which is standardized across T-AKE 1 through T-AKE 10 vessels. CASREP number 24034 is associated with this requirement.
