    This memorandum outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for acquiring Bow Thruster repair parts from KONGSBERG Marine North America, under the simplified acquisition threshold. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) allows such actions when only one source is available due to specific circumstances, including urgency and proprietary rights. KONGSBERG holds exclusive rights to necessary proprietary drawings and is the sole source for the required parts, which are critical to ship operations and safety. The parts are designed to be compatible with existing equipment, and using unauthorized alternatives could lead to safety hazards or operational failures. The procurement process is justified as the repair is urgent, necessary to maintain the functionality of the equipment, and essential to comply with regulatory requirements for safety. Overall, the document supports a sole-source procurement due to the unique needs dictated by existing operational and safety standards for military vessels.
