    The Military Sealift Command is issuing a combined synopsis and solicitation (RFQ No. N3220524Q2098) for the procurement of an Ice and Water Dispenser. This procurement is categorized under the NAICS code 312113 and PSC 4110, with a firm-fixed price purchase order anticipated. The submission deadline for quotes is September 11, 2024, and all quotes must be emailed to Christina Guevara. The main delivery is set for September 18, 2024, at a specified Norfolk, VA address. Quoters must provide detailed price quotes, including unit prices and estimated delivery times, alongside technical specifications to ensure compliance with the solicitation requirements. The government will evaluate quotes based on technical capability and price, emphasizing that only technically acceptable, lowest-priced offers will be awarded. The solicitation includes several federal acquisition provisions and clauses, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Notably, no small business set-asides are provided for this procurement, which is crucial for potential offerors to note. Overall, this RFQ represents a standard governmental procurement process, adhering to federal guidelines for transparency and fairness in acquiring commercial products.
    This memorandum discusses the justification for using other than full and open competition for a procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold. Due to specific circumstances, only one vendor, Crest Food Equipment, is to be solicited for ice and water dispensers intended for a crew mess hall, needed by September 18, 2024. The justification for this sole-source procurement is based on several criteria: the item is critical ship equipment, adhering to safety and operational standards; it involves exclusive licensing agreements with the manufacturer; and it is a standardized component matching existing equipment's form, fit, and function, minimizing costs related to modifications. Historical precedence indicates that using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts is less risky than alternatives, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with military standards. Overall, the memorandum outlines the rationale for limiting competition, ensuring reliability and safety in the acquisition process.
