About this file
This is a Memorandum to the File documenting a justification for use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase.
The acquisition is for one each Hydraulic Motor/Retrofit Kit with Trident Maritime Systems Part Number F166336-3, required for repair of the DDG121 boat davit. The sole source is Trident Maritime Systems, Heavy Equipment Group, located at 2141 Woodward Avenue, Kingsford, Michigan 49802, with point of contact HEGpartsandservice@tridentllc.com and phone number 906-774-1500. The required delivery date is 210 days after receipt of order (ARO) with long-lead time manufacturing. The estimated cost is redacted in the document.
The justification for sole source procurement is based on two grounds: Brand Name and Unusual and Compelling Urgency. Under Brand Name, the memorandum states that Trident Maritime Systems/Heavy Equipment Group owns the rights to the system under repair following a merger with Lakeshore Systems Inc. The required kit will provide a new hydraulic motor with retrofit kit for the gravity lowering boat davit and must operate seamlessly with the existing system in terms of form, fit, and function. Under Unusual and Compelling Urgency, the requirement was first identified in October 2025, and the 210-day manufacturing lead time necessitates prompt award to allow the manufacturer to begin production without delay to avoid affecting performance of this critical naval asset. The technical certification was completed by Yon Park, EQS from PHNSY & IMF, on November 19, 2025. The Contracting Officer's approval signature block remains unsigned.

MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE
SUBJECT: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN ACQUISITION

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.
