SSJ REDACTED N3220526Q0048_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a justified single-source procurement decision for a simplified acquisition under the threshold limit.

The acquisition concerns a Magnatrol Valve Corp. EDG Stop Solenoid Valve with a required delivery date of January 12, 2027. The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available for this procurement. The justification is based on standardization requirements per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline. Specifically, only the Magnatrol Valve Corp. Valve 1-1/2" Bronze model will satisfy the government's needs for additional units or replacement items aboard T-AKE Class T-ALT 519 vessels. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment. The memorandum indicates the independent government estimate is redacted and the procurement does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, thereby exempting it from full and open competition requirements. The document includes certification and approval blocks for the requester, higher-level supervisor, and contracting officer, with signature lines provided for technical/requirement certification and final approval. The memorandum references FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 as the regulatory basis for this single-source determination.
