This is a Memorandum for the Record documenting a single-source acquisition justification for Anchor Windlass Motor Repairs under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition concerns replacement of an Anchor Windlass Motor with a required delivery date of July 1, 2026. The specified product is a MacGregor brand motor, specifically the M990199 Electrom Brake model. The required source determination identified "Only One Responsible Source" as the basis for limiting competition. The justification cites restrictive rights, as MacGregor only sells directly and maintains no authorized distributors; MacGregor is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the approved motor. Additional supporting rationales include standardization requirements per COMSCINST 4790.3 to maintain fleet configuration baseline, with the M990199 Electrom Brake specified for compatibility with T-AKE Class vessels, and compatibility as a direct replacement part for existing equipment. The product is not designated as critical ship equipment per COMSCINST 4490.1(series) and SMS Procedure 10.6-002-ALL. The memorandum documents the contracting officer's determination that only one source is reasonably available, as required by FAR 12.102(a) and GSAR 538.7104-3 and -4, in support of the single-source procurement action.
