MEMORANDUM

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

THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

Ref: (a) PR Number(s): 1301261264

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.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

1. Provide a description of the item or service required, to include

a) the name of the required source or brand name

Cornell-Carr Co., Inc.

b) the required delivery date/period of performance and

2025-11-01

c) its intended use.

2. List the source(s) or known vendor(s) who are able to provide the above described item or service.

Manufacturer: Cornell-Carr Co., Inc.

Manufacturer Phone #: 203-261-2529 ext. 102

Mfr. address: 626 main st. Po box 253 Monroe, CT 06468

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION IS BASED

ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

A. X Only one responsible source (select all that apply):

1. X RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS: the source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service.

a. Explain what is subject to the restrictive rights.

This T-ALT package was approved by ABS for the Cornell Carr window/heater system under drawings 181-8613459, 320-8613457, and 551-8613458. These are MSC drawings, but using a different manufacturer would require approval by ABS, and changing the installation on CABLE sister ship LAND.

b. If drawings are included, who is identified as “owning” the drawings.

MSC

2. _____ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is ONLY ONE authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

a. Identify the OEM and explain the circumstances surrounding why the item or service is only available from the OEM.

AS Class T-ALT 17-030 was designed by government around the Cornell Carr style window/heater system. This has been installed on the CABLE sister ship (LAND) and needs to be the same to support logistics, maintenance and repair, and technical documentation. Using a different manufacturer would require a complete redesign of the system, and re-installation on LAND. If we have to change the installation on LAND to match configuration with a different provider for CABLE we will be creating the similar problem we are now having with using a sole source.

b. Identify the distributor / authorized technical representative for the item or service.

Provide evidence of the exclusive licensing agreement as an attachment to this document.

(NOTE: If there is more than one distributor / authorized technical representative, then use Part B – Brand Name.)

Cornell Carr.

3. X OTHER REASON:

3 Ver 2.0 (01 July 2018)

a. _____ CRITICAL SHIP EQUIPMENT: The required item is critical ship equipment, the failure of which poses a hazard to the ship, the crew or the environment.

i. SMS Procedure Number: ___________________________

b. X STANDARDIZATION / BRAND NAME: Per MSCs standardization initiative, only the specified make/model of the equipment/parts will satisfy the Government’s needs for additional units or replacement items.

i. Identify Make / Model Number(s): CC1226; CC1595(CVN); MS3106A1610S;

MS3106A1610P; Q228101; Q228102

ii. Identify other vessels with this Make / Model:

USS LAND

c. X FORM, FIT, AND FUNCTION: Item is direct replacement parts / components for existing equipment and must be compatible in terms of form, fit, and function with existing equipment / configurations.

i. Identify Make / Model of existing equipment:

ii. Describe how the equipment must be compatible with the existing configuration.

This is a new install for a T-ALT, but has already been accomplished on CABLE sister ship LAND. Not using the Cornell Carr window and heater system would mean two separate supply chains, two different technical documentations, and the ships would have unique installations.

d. _____ OTHER:

4. _____ UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY: The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would injure the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

a. Date on which the requirement was identified: ______________________________

b. Required delivery date / Period of Performance: _____________________________

c. If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting t he requirement.

d. Estimated production lead time: ______________________________
