    The memorandum dated August 22, 2024, outlines the justification for utilizing "Other than Full and Open Competition" for an acquisition related to UHF Radio Repeater Installation. Under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, the Contracting Officer has determined that only one source, Central Radio Company, Inc., can meet the requirements due to factors such as urgency and exclusive licensing from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Motorola. The delivery date is set for September 16, 2024. The need for this specific make and model is based on standardization for compatibility with existing equipment on several EPF vessels, highlighting critical operational and safety concerns, particularly for damage control and firefighting readiness. The memorandum also references the necessity of maintaining form, fit, and function with existing systems to ensure proper radio operations on board. This limited competition approach addresses essential needs without extending beyond the simplified acquisition threshold, reinforcing the government's commitment to operational efficiency and safety standards.
