Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for a purchase under the simplified acquisition threshold. The acquisition concerns the purchase of a DFM stripping pump bushing and shaft collar for the USNS Lucy Stone FY 26 PSA (Project/Activity WI-537), with a required delivery date of July 1, 2026. The required source or brand name is Leistritz Advanced Technologies Corp, identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer that owns all proprietary rights to dimensional, material, and manufacturing details for the required parts.

The contracting officer has determined that only one responsible source is available, citing restrictive proprietary rights as the justification. The products are not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1 and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The memorandum includes sections for documenting standardization requirements, compatibility considerations, and urgency factors, though portions of the document are redacted. This justification fulfills the documentation requirements mandated by FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 for non-competitive procurements below the simplified acquisition threshold.
