Use of Other Than Full and Open Memo Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for the Record justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition below the threshold. The acquisition seeks a single replacement part: a Mooring Winch W1 Electric Motor for exact replacement on an Anchor Windlass W1 system. The required delivery date is 14 July 2026, with the requirement identified on 13 February 2026. The specified source is TTS Marine GmbH via MacGregor USA.

The justification for limiting competition to a single source is based on multiple factors: standardization per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline, compatibility as a direct replacement part (Make and Model A13229C-1B-10760), and urgency of a C3/C4 casualty report nature, as the ship cannot raise or lower its anchor on the port side without this motor. The equipment is not designated as critical ship equipment. The contracting officer certifies the justification as accurate and complete, and approval has been granted at the higher supervisory level. The PID Number is N32205-26-SIMACQ-DMO-N4-0062, and the CASREP Number is 26001.
