    This document outlines the Justification and Approval (J&A) for utilizing other than full and open competition regarding a purchase order for HVAC Chiller parts for the USNS FALL RIVER (T-EPF 4), which is operated by the Military Sealift Command (MSC). The need arises because Carrier Corp. is the sole Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these parts, possessing unique technical specifications and knowledge necessary for their supply. The MSC cites the authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the brand name requirement, asserting that only Carrier Corp. parts will meet operational needs for the vessel’s HVAC system. The contract is intended to be firm-fixed-price, using fiscal year 2025 Navy working capital funds, with efforts noted to solicit offers from Carrier-authorized distributors. Previous requests for quotes demonstrated adequate competition among them. The MSC emphasizes the importance of maintaining operational readiness and adhering to safety regulations, planning to publish a combined notice to include this J&A. While currently opting for OEM suppliers, the MSC remains open to assessing future competition potential should alternative sources become available.
