The document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the Department of the Navy’s Military Sealift Command (MSC) to award a sole-source contract to Palfinger Marine for life raft davit repair materials for the USNS MERCY (T-AH 19). As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Palfinger Marine is the only provider capable of supplying the proprietary materials and technical data necessary for maintenance, which is critical for the ship’s operational safety. The T-AH life raft davits are classified as 'L4 critical equipment' and require immediate replacement of parts due to nearing end-of-life. No efforts were made to solicit competitive offers due to a lack of alternative sources, and MSC has ongoing efforts to inform potential non-OEM vendors about future qualifications. The contract is funded through the fiscal year 2025 Navy working capital funds, with the Contracting Officer affirming that the anticipated costs are fair and reasonable. The document highlights MSC's commitment to maintaining high safety standards while acknowledging the limited scope for competition in this specialized field.
