About this file
This is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase. The procurement is for Measurement Quality Jumpers (MQJs)—reference cables and test cables required to test fiber optic cables and shipboard systems. Three specific part numbers are being procured: part number 1535219-101 (Receptacle), 1535219-102 (Receptacle), and 1535218-102 (Plug). The sole source is Teledyne Marine, located at 162 Corporate Dr. suite 100, Portsmouth, NH 03801, with point of contact Tara Reischl (603-760-5611). The estimated cost is $30,244 with a required delivery date of May 31, 2026.
The justification for single-source procurement is based on both brand name and other reasons. Market research determined that only Teledyne Marine can fabricate these MQJs according to the specified drawing requirements. These specific part numbers are mandated in Virginia Class ShipAlt instructions and are essential for performing certification testing for fiber optic cables and shipboard systems. The Technical Requirements Certification was completed by Edwin Uyehara, Production Shop Planner at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and IMF, on April 28, 2026. The Contracting Officer approval section remains unsigned as of the document date.

MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE
SUBJECT: 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.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN
COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: (select all that apply):
A. ☐ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):
1. ☐ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS
The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.
Explain what rights are restricted, why the restrictive rights make the required item or service available from only one source, and why another company could not satisfy the Government’s need.
2. ☐ 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.
Explain the circumstances surrounding why the item or service is only available from the manufacturer or service provider.
OR
Provide evidence of the exclusive licensing agreement as an attachment to this document.
NOTE: If there is more than one distributor/authorized technical representative for an OEM part, then Part B, BRAND NAME SOLE SOURCE, is applicable, and Part A, ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE, should be left blank.
3. ☐ OTHER REASONS
Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.
B. ☐ BRAND NAME
Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.
Discuss why you are precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Describe how the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements and why a “brand name or equal” purchase description cannot be used (see FAR 11.104). Describe how market research indicates other companies’ similar products or products lacking the particular feature do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs.
After research, found that only Teledyne was able to fabricate these MQJs according to drawing specs. These MQJ part numbers are specified in the Virginia Class ShipAlt instructions. These specific MQJS are required to perform certification testing for fiber optic cables and shipboard systems.
C. ☐ 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: _______________________________
2. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required:
Explain the impact to the mission if the date above is not met, any special circumstances or conditions that exist which validate the requirement as “urgent,” estimated production lead time for the item, etc.
3. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.
IV. CERTIFICATIONS/APPROVALS
A. Technical / Requirements Certification (Requiring Activity):
I certify that the facts and representation under my cognizance which are included in this justification are complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief.
