Summary: Memorandum to the File – Single Source Justification for Simplified Acquisition

This is a Memorandum to the File documenting the justification for using other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The document authorizes procurement of on-site support services from Zetec, Inc. for an Eddy Current Inspection on CVN-78 main condensers. Zetec will provide expert technicians using their proprietary RevospECT auto analysis software to assist Code 135 during the inspection, with a performance period of July 31, 2026 through July 30, 2027.

The contracting officer determined that only one responsible source is available based on three justifications: (1) Exclusive Licensing Agreements—Zetec is the owner and developer of the RevospECT software and is uniquely qualified to provide specialized on-site support with expert understanding of the software; (2) Other Reasons—unusual and compelling urgency, with the requirement first identified on June 4, 2026. The delivery by July 31, 2026 is necessary because Code 135 requires on-site support from Zetec to operate the RevospECT software effectively, reduce inspection manhours, and ensure optimal performance. Delay beyond the Required Delivery Date could impact the ship's schedule. The document includes certifications from the Technical Requirements Officer and Contracting Officer affirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification.
