This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for a simplified acquisition threshold purchase.

The memorandum authorizes a non-competitive procurement for High Pressure Air Compressor 4th Stage Relief Valves manufactured by Sauer Compressors model WP5000. The required delivery date is 30 November 26. The product is intended for use on GFM ISO T-AO 208 MTA WI 519 and is not designated as critical ship equipment. The procurement is justified under a Brand Name determination, specifically citing standardization requirements per COMSCNINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline. The product is identified as a direct replacement part for existing equipment aboard vessels T-AO 205, 206, 207, 209, and 210, and must maintain compatibility with the Sauer Compressors WP5000 specification.

The acquisition falls under simplified acquisition threshold limits and is supported by the sole source justification that only the specified Sauer Compressors WP5000 model satisfies the Government's need for maintaining fleet standardization and compatibility with existing equipment on the identified vessels. The memorandum references FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4 as the regulatory basis for this single-source determination. The PID Number is N32205-27-SIMACQ-DSM-PM1-0070, and the memorandum is dated 30 September 26.
