About this file

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting the justification for using other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase. The acquisition is for an OEM material order in support of a Kaiser W.I. 0511_A Cargo Potable Water Pump replacement. The required source or brand name is Goulds Pumps, specifically Goulds Pump Model 3410 for All T-AO 187 Class vessels. The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available, with McKenna identified as the OEM's sole-authorized reseller in California. The justification is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as the OEM (ITT Goulds) requires purchases to be made through McKenna, making McKenna the only authorized reseller capable of fulfilling the requirement.

The determination selection is Part A (Only One Responsible Source) with the primary justification under Part III.A.2.b (Exclusive Licensing Agreements), supplemented by Part III.A.5 (Other Reasons), which specifies that McKenna is the sole authorized reseller and the OEM requires purchases through this channel. The document confirms the product is not designated as critical ship equipment. A required delivery date is referenced but redacted. The technical certification section indicates the facts and representations included in the justification are complete and accurate as of the certification date.
