About this file
This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a sole source justification for a federal acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The document authorizes the procurement of one A-60 steel fire door with gasket, dual dog locks (CD-5603), tempered window, and USJ part #JDA-10-01.004 (Door #2-207-2) from Trident Marine Systems for use as a fire screen door aboard the USNS Sojourner Truth T-AO 210. The required delivery date is January 16, 2027, with a period of performance through December 1, 2027.
The contracting officer determined that only one responsible source is available based on three primary justifications: (1) Trident Marine Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the design and manufacturing of fire doors specifically fitted for the TAO-210 vessel; (2) the Military Sealift Command lacks the manufacturing and technical information required to reverse engineer or manufacture alternative replacement parts, and procuring substitutes would compromise reliability; and (3) standardization per COMSCINST 4790.3 requires the specified make and model to maintain fleet configuration baseline across all T-AO 205 John Lewis Class vessels. The product is designated as non-critical ship equipment. Technical certification and approval were executed by both the requesting party and contracting officer, with signatures dated in July 2026 and January 2026, respectively.
