Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN ACQUISITION

UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCE:

Electro Lift Inc Clifton, NJ 07013

CAGE: 92748

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

This action requests authority for Brand name sole source procurement of quantity 1 Electro Lift Electric Load Hoists, M-12055A as well as the following subcomponents of said hoist needed for sparing, totaling:

Electro Lift was chosen to be the supplier of the hoist because this particular item is currently on the fielded Davits and has proven successful over their life.

There are currently spare parts and supplies for this particular manufacturer and item in supply.

The Davit SPALT modifications have been designed with this particular manufacturer and item number, if a different manufacturer and item number is used an additional 80 hours of engineering labor and 40 hours of drafting labor will be required to incorporate changes. This particular brand and item allows known maintenance procedures to be followed and to capitalize on current field knowledge. If another manufacturer or item is used, an additional 40 hours of tech pub labor to create new maintenance drawings will be required. An approximate 120 hours of training/ loss productivity will also be incurred. In addition to the time spent, it would incur roughly $ in costs in finding other material compatible with a different load hoist.
