This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a sole source justification for a simplified acquisition below the threshold.

The procurement seeks to provide a Siemens authorized field service representative to troubleshoot and repair controls associated with the Port SGM CASREP 26012, specifically for repair of the PTO-PTI Shaft Generator and Motor (SGM). The required delivery period is August 3, 2026 through August 11, 2026. The required source is Siemens Energy Inc. The independent government estimate is redacted from the document.

The justification is based on three primary factors: (1) Restrictive Rights—Siemens Corporation owns proprietary data related to the SGM as identified in specific technical manuals; (2) Exclusive Licensing Agreements—Siemens Corporation is identified as the only known authorized service provider for PTO-PTI SGM equipment; and (3) Other Reasons—The United States Coast Guard and ABS only recognize servicing and repairs of this shipboard equipment by an authorized OEM representative. The procurement is classified as urgent based on the vessel's scheduled August deployment and the critical mission requirement for the SGM system to be functional. The contracting officer determined that only one responsible source is reasonably available for this acquisition and certified the justification as complete and accurate.
