This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for light fixture parts under the simplified acquisition threshold. The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available for this procurement, which does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, as required by FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4.

The required product is light fixture parts for WI 301, USNS Comfort GFM, with a required delivery date of 18 May 2026. The source brand specified is Crouse-Hinds. The justification for single-source procurement is based on standardization per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline, with light part numbers FX-XXXX matching current ship equipment for the T-AH Class vessel. The light fixture parts are designated as not critical ship equipment and do not pose a hazard to the ship, crew, or environment. Additionally, the product serves as a direct replacement part for existing equipment and must be compatible with current installations on the vessel.
