    This memorandum outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold, specifically involving COSPOLICH INC. The document indicates that the sourcing decision is based on the need for a proprietary item related to GFM materials required for a salad bar, intended to support upcoming military operations slated for August to November 2025.
