About this file
This is a Memorandum for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an Acquisition Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The document justifies a sole-source procurement for two MacGregor USA, Inc. Capstan MS and M6 Frequency Converter/Controllers for ship's mooring, needed by 20 June 2025. The critical ship equipment is for the USNS John Lewis class T-AO vessels, with an estimated 6-week production lead time.
The acquisition is justified under multiple rationales, including critical ship equipment status, standardization/brand name requirements, and unusual urgency. The frequency converters are essential for safely maintaining control over mooring lines, as current manual winding methods are deemed unsafe during surging tides. The procurement is deemed imperative for immediate replacement, with the specific make/model (MFR-TTS INC HOUSTON TX / MFR ID-5008705) selected to ensure compatibility with existing ship configurations and meet the Military Sealift Command's standardization initiative.
