This is a Memorandum justifying the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The document authorizes the procurement of a fuel oil transfer pump from Leistritz Advanced Technologies Corp., the sole source identified for this requirement. The performance period extends from April 1, 2026, through June 1, 2026.

The justification is based on multiple factors: restrictive rights held exclusively by Leistritz Advanced Technologies Corp. for fabrication and production of required parts, with all drawings owned by the manufacturer; exclusive licensing agreements establishing Leistritz as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with no other authorized distributors or technical representatives; critical ship equipment classification under SMS Procedure Number 7.1-007-ALL for redlines; standardization requirements for specific makes and models (MFG: Leistritz AG; MODEL: L2NG-116/180-ASOGI-G and L3MG-60/120ASOG1-G) compatible with all AKES vessels; and form, fit, and function requirements necessitating OEM or fully compatible parts to ensure operational integrity, personnel safety, and long-term financial prudence. The memorandum identifies Ken Doyle (Aftermarket Manager) and Christopher Allegretta (Aftermarket Sales Representative) at Leistritz Advanced Technologies Corp., located at 165 Chestnut Street, Allendale, NJ 07401, as the primary contacts for this procurement.
