SSJ and UnC RFK PSA - WI 624 Gaylord Hood_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an Acquisition Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, dated 23 July 2025. The procurement is for Gaylor Marine Services, Inc. to provide GFM for RFK PSA – WI 624 208AF Galley Modifications, with a required delivery date of 26 September 2025. The acquisition is being pursued as a sole-source procurement based on Gaylor's restrictive rights, specifically that their equipment is an OEM design manufactured to fit T-AO 208, and follows MSC's standardization initiative for specified make/model parts to satisfy the Government's needs for additional units or replacement items.

The document justifies the sole-source procurement under FAR 13.106 by citing that only one source (Gaylor Marine Services) is reasonably available due to proprietary rights, and the requirement will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The specific item is a Gaylor/GMS-GIH-NCAD-CA-48-192 make/model equipment intended for the T-AO 205, 206 vessel, which must meet Trans-ALT install and ABS/USCG rules. The procurement is being conducted to obtain critical ship equipment that is direct replacement parts compatible with existing ship configurations.
