About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) memorandum for an acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, dated December 18, 2024, with PR Number 1301206503. The document justifies sole-sourcing to Austal USA to provide OEM Authorized Technical Representative support during Final Contract Trials for the USNS APALACHICOLA's Integrated Machinery Control System (IMCS).

The period of performance includes JEBLC FCT Mock from January 13-17 and JEBLC FCT from February 3-7. The justification is based on Austal USA being the owner of proprietary software and programs used to configure, integrate and maintain IMCS, and the equipment being designated as critical ship equipment that poses a hazard to ship, crew, or environment if it fails (per SMS 10.6.002). Three Austal USA points of contact are identified for the requirement: Jacob Riley (Contracts Manager), Dale Ditsworth (Program Manager), and Adam Williams (Service Engineer III).

MEMORANDUM

Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION FOR AN ACQUISITION UNDER

THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

Ref: (a) PR Number(s): 1301206503

I. BACKGROUND:

1. In considering the references, FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contacting Officers may solicit from one source if the

Contracting Officer determines that, under the circumstances of the contract action, only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing, brand-name, or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition because only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

a) the name of the required source or brand name

AUSTAL USA

b) the required delivery date/period of performance and

Final Contract Trials.
