    This memorandum outlines the decision to utilize other than full and open competition for a service contract under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The contractor will perform a complete factory rebuild of an American Compressor, specifically model 55H75/D, which is crucial as it aligns with preventive maintenance requirements from the OEM, American Compressor Company. The memorandum justifies this sole-source acquisition citing unique circumstances: only one responsible source is available due to exclusive licensing agreements with the OEM for major repairs and overhauls. American Compressor Company is the only entity equipped with the necessary original replacement parts, tooling, trained technicians, and processes for this specific model. The document reiterates adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, particularly FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) that allows for non-competitive bidding under certain conditions.
