About this file
This is a Justification for Urgent Acquisition submitted by USS Mesa Verde LPD-19 to the Contracting Officer at Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk to support expedited procurement processing under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b).
The requirement is for a replacement 60-pound washer-extractor unit, which was damaged due to wear and tear across multiple deployments. The requirement was first identified on 01 March 2026, with a required delivery date of 01 July 2026. The justification for urgent processing is based on the critical operational impact: the washer is the only equipment capable of cleaning heavily soiled fuel-stained linens, infectious disease materials, and biohazardous laundry. Without replacement, USS Mesa Verde LPD-19 will be unable to maintain sanitary living conditions for the crew and unable to respond to worldwide disaster relief missions requiring biohazard material handling capabilities. The 60-pound washer is essential to the ship's laundry mission as defined in NAVEDTRA 14314D. The justification identifies EDRO company as the sole source manufacturer of washers and dryers for the U.S. Navy, with an estimated production lead time of four weeks once the contract is awarded. The document was submitted on 10 June 2026, approved by the Technical/Equipment Specialist on 11 June 2026, and requires final approval by the FLC Norfolk Contracting Officer. This single-source urgent acquisition supports accelerated solicitation and award procedures outside the standard 20-30 day procurement cycle.

FROM: USS Mesa Verde LPD-19
To: Contracting Officer, Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk
Subj: JUSTIFICATION FOR URGENT ACQUISITION Ref: (a) Procurement Request No:
(b) Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)
2. URGENCY: This justification is provided to support the processing of reference (a) on an urgent basis (i.e., more quickly than the routine cycle timeframes of 20 days for requirements less than $25,000 and 30 days for requirements greater than $25,000 but less than $150,000. Processing of a requirement on an urgent basis may allow the soliciting from a single source if Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances deem only one source reasonably available. This justification is based on the following facts:
01MAR26, date on which the requirement was first identified.
01JULY26, is the required delivery date as indicated on the requisition.
X Explanation of the special circumstances and conditions that exist validating the requirement as "urgent".
The 60lb Washer has been damaged due to wear and tear through multiple deployments. As USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19) initiated Crew Move Aboard (CMA) during 2024 CNO Availability scheduled on 18JUL25, the replacement of this washer is vital to the crew and the operation of Supply Department. In addition, the crew of the ship may be subjected to unsanitary living conditions until the replacement of the washer-extractor is complete.
X How this requirement will impact your mission (i.e., the specific harm that would result) if you do not receive the material or service by the required delivery date. (Note: Delays in production schedules alone or failure to expend monies are not acceptable reasons for justifying urgency.)
The 60lb washer is a 1 of 1 machine that helps cleans heavily soiled fuel linen, rids infectious disease, and heavily stained and odor ridden material. The result could be catastrophic as LPD 19 will not be able to handle bio-hazard material that LPD 19 laundry has the ability posses when responding to disasters world-wide. In accordance with NAVEDTRA 14314D “The mission of the ship’s laundry operation is to produce clean clothing using sanitary methods. Unsanitary or industrial hazards may occur at any point.”
_X_ Estimated production lead time for the item (how long will it take the contractor to produce the item or complete the service once the contract is awarded)
Provided the emergent contract is awarded, the local contractor can provide the equipment in 4 weeks.
The EDRO company is the only company whom makes washers and dryers for the US NAVY.
