The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District (USACE-CESAW) is seeking a single-source justification for the procurement of one STAMFORD Model S4L1M-F41 replacement generator. This action falls under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13) and will not exceed $250,000. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), allowing for a single source when circumstances deem only one source reasonably available, such as for brand-name items. The specific generator is required for its exact form, fit, and function to ensure compatibility with existing vessel mounting configurations and prevent operational issues. The document notes that alternative generators could lead to significant financial losses due to downtime and extended lead times for new procurements. While Stamford has multiple small business distributors, no other efforts were made to increase competition, with market research limited to internet searches and previous contracts.
