SSJ Kennedy Fire Screen Doors Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) memorandum for the procurement of fire screen doors for the USNS Robert F. Kennedy. The document identifies Trident Maritime Services, Inc. as the sole source provider, with a required delivery date of 1 September 2025. The procurement is for LLTM (Long Lead Time Material) fire doors specifically designed for the USNS Robert F. Kennedy, with Trident Maritime Systems located at 2651 Drucker Lane in San Diego as the exclusive vendor.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on Trident's proprietary rights, including established proprietary information, drawings, and special requirements for the fire doors. The document notes that Trident Marine can only provide required fire doors for form fit and function for the USNS, and the procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold. The procurement is critical for ship equipment, with the doors being a direct replacement part that must be compatible with existing ship configurations and meet ABS and USCG rules for a Trans-ALT (Alteration) installation.
