Ref: (a) USNS CHARLES DREW (T-AKE 10) PR Number(s): N2360200784001

I. BACKGROUND:

1. In considering the references, FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contacting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that, under the circumstances of the contract action, only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing, 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 because 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.

THIS MAINTAINS ALL OEM WARRANTIES, ENSURES ENGINE RELIABILITY, AND CREW SAFETY.

ii. Describe how it applies to the critical piece of equipment: 10.6-002-ALL LISTS ALL FOUR MAIN PROPULSION DIESEL ENGINE (MPDE) AS CRITICAL EQUIPMENT. FAILURE OF ONE MPDE WILL FORCE THE SHIP TO REDUCE THEIR SPEED. THE LOSS OF TWO ENGINES PUT THE SHIP IN A C-4 STATUS, THUS BECOMING UNABLE TO PERFORM THE PRIMARY MISSION OF PROVIDING UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT SERVICES TO THE FLEET, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A CASREP. THE REDUCTION OF SPEED CAN ALSO POSE A HAZARD TO THE CREW, DUE TO LIMITED SHIP MANEUVERABILITY. PROPER REFURBISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF ENGINES ARE CRITICAL TO THE SAFE OPERATIONS OF T-AKE VESSEL.

T-AKE ENGINES REQUIRE SPECIAL TOOLS, SPECIALIZED REPAIR PARTS, AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE UNIQUE TO THESE ENGINES; ONLY APPROVED OEM PARTS ARE AUTHORIZED TO BE INSTALLED ON THIS HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED EQUIPMENT.

The determination that the procurement for the above is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

a. Date on which the requirement was identified:

b. Required delivery date / Period of Performance:

c. If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting the requirement.

d. Estimated production lead time:
