This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) memorandum dated 12/27/2024 for Advanced Degaussing BPAU Modifications T-ALT 391 equipment from Ultra Marine. The requirement has a Required Delivery Date (RDD) of 09/30/2025 and is being sole-sourced to Ultra Marine US as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The justification is based on brand name limited source and restrictive rights, as Ultra Marine US is the OEM for Navy-approved degaussing equipment and designed the upgrade for the T-AKE platform. The equipment (Ultra Marine 456D0100) must be compatible with existing configurations on T-AKE 1 Class vessels and serve as a direct plug-and-play upgrade to the degaussing system. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) does not have the manufacturing and technical information required to evaluate alternative vendors, and the NAVSEA Degaussing Department is identified as the only subject matter expert that can approve alternate vendors for this requirement.
