About this file
This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a justification for other than full and open competition under the simplified acquisition threshold.
The acquisition involves an Air Starter (Rolls Royce Model EX56917300063) with a required delivery date of 15 August 2026. The contracting officer has determined that only one source—Rolls Royce—is reasonably available. The justification is based on multiple factors: Rolls Royce holds proprietary rights and exclusive use of the drawing specifications for the Air Starter; the component is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part; standardization is required per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline across all EPF Class vessels; and any replacement part from another manufacturer would not be compatible with the existing system. The product is designated for use as critical ship equipment on naval vessels. The PID number is N32205-26-SIMACQ-DSM-PM8-0268, with a memorandum date of 1 June 2026. The contracting officer selected determination 3.a (Only One Responsible Source) with checkmarks indicating restrictive rights, standardization requirements, and other compatibility/mission-critical reasons as the bases for limiting competition to the single source.
