This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase. The acquisition is for USNS GRASP (T-ARS 51) LPAC Material with a required delivery date of July 31, 2026. The intended use is to replace existing units. The required source or brand name is Quincy Compressor.

The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available and has justified this determination under a Brand Name basis. Specifically, the justification cites Standardization per COMSCSINST 4790.3, noting that to maintain fleet configuration baseline, only the specified Quincy Compressor make and model will satisfy the Government's needs for additional units or replacement items. The memorandum also indicates the product is a direct replacement part for existing equipment with the Make and Model identified as QUINCY COMPRESSOR/X21467V0023. The required product is not designated as critical ship equipment. This memorandum documents the decision required by FAR 12.102(a) or GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 to support the limited-source procurement approach for this acquisition not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.
