This memorandum details the justification for using other than full and open competition for acquiring a FUEL OIL Transfer pump from Leistritz Advanced Technologies Corp. The acquisition, under the simplified acquisition threshold, is sole-sourced due to Leistritz's proprietary rights, exclusive OEM status, and critical ship equipment designation. The required parts for models L2NG-116/180-ASOGI-G and L3MG-60/120AS0G1-G are crucial for operational integrity and safety on all AKES vessels, necessitating exact form, fit, and function compatibility. The period of performance is April 1, 2026, to June 1, 2026.
