This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The vendor is SRC Elastomerics, Inc. located in Philadelphia, PA, with a CAGE code of 87585.

The memorandum indicates that developing an alternate vendor source would result in late system delivery, delayed shipboard installation, and postponed deployment of a ship due to lack of mission-critical systems. The potential cost and time to source an alternative vendor could significantly exceed current estimates and potentially delay the required delivery date of 26MAR2026. The contracting officer has determined that only one responsible source (SRC Elastomerics) can fulfill the requirement, citing restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements as justification for sole-source procurement. The document is approved by the Contracting Officer Morgan Helton on 12/18/2025.
