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

ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

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:

Rebuilding of 2ea, IPHO intensifier assemblies.

VENDOR:

PROTERIAL CABLE AMERICA, INC.

HIGH PERFORMANCE DEFENSE SOLUTIONS DIVISION

15 GRAY LANE, SUITE 101 ASHAWAY, RI 02804

THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

1. X _ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

The technical information needed to repair the IPHO intensifier assemblies, to include dimensions, fittings is proprietary of Proterial and not available to the public.

2. X_ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

Proterial to provide the service to repair or replace the IPHO assemblies. Original manufacturer is no longer in business. Proterial services all platform IPHO items for the US Navy.

3. ___ OTHER REASONS.

B. ___ BRAND NAME.

C. _X_UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY. The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals.

Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified: 10-1-2025

2. Required delivery date/period of performance: 3/26/26 -6/30/26

3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required:

If we do not meet this date, the project will be delayed, and the ship will not be able to leave without these items

The urgency of this requirement is not the result of a lack of advanced planning. It is the direct result of an unforeseen, sudden failure of a mission-critical piece of equipment, which could not have been predicted through normal maintenance schedules or planning efforts. The requirement is for an emergency repair, not a scheduled replacement or upgrade.

4. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.

The forward and Mid IPHO intensifier assemblies need to be rebuilt and needs to be expedited since the boat cannot leave without this assembly.
