This is a Memorandum for the Record (MFR) documenting a single-source acquisition justification for a simplified acquisition below the threshold.

The Navy is procuring valve main starting and sealing rings for direct replacement of a broken part, with delivery required by November 10, 2026, under CASREP 26016. The required source or brand is EVERLLENCE (MAN ENERGY/FMD Sole Distributor), model #11.16200-0197. The procurement is justified under multiple grounds: (1) Standardization per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline across all ESB-class vessels, as only this specified make/model satisfies government needs for replacement items; (2) Compatibility, as the product serves as a direct replacement part for existing equipment that must be compatible with model #11.16200-0197; and (3) Urgency based on a C3/C4 Casualty Report dated August 22, 2026, with required delivery by October 11, 2026. The equipment is designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1 and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The justification notes that the parts are required for COI inspection and to maintain ships' readiness, and that non-OEM equipment is not authorized per QMS and SMS instructions. The requirement does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and is the subject of PID Number N4099B6240W149-W151.
