MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE – ACQUISITION JUSTIFICATION

This memorandum documents the justification for using other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase from a single source. The requirement is for fiber optic cables for an HFCA Unit 1804 receive module, specifically ITAR C/A 8 FO/4-3 FO Lockheed Martin HFCA (N108959), modified with DGO-1 coating. The selected manufacturer or service provider is Teledyne Marine, located at 162 Corporate Drive, Suite 100, Portsmouth, NH 03801, with point of contact Tara Reischl (603-474-5571). The estimated cost is redacted, and no specific delivery date is provided in the document.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on "other reasons," with the determination that DG O'Brien Inc. is the only qualified vendor capable of providing these specific cables, per engineering documentation. The contracting officer, Tehani Diaz Zelaya-Rios, has not completed final approval signature as of the document date of February 5, 2026. The technical certification was completed by A. Lee (EQS, PHNSY & IMF) on the same date. The document serves as the required FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i) justification for the absence of competition in this acquisition.
