    The memorandum outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for a procurement action under the simplified acquisition threshold, specifically regarding the recertification of Shipboard Ordnance Handling Equipment (OHE) for the USNS Richard E. Byrd. It states that only one vendor, ISLAND CERTS, can fulfill the requirement due to the critical nature of the equipment, proprietary rights, and exclusive licensing agreements with the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The required services will occur between July 7, 2025, and September 30, 2025, with ISLAND CERTS being the only NAVSEA-certified facility authorized to perform necessary weight testing of the OHE. This situation reflects a need for urgency and specificity as the equipment is essential for safety and operational effectiveness serving the government’s mission. The memorandum serves to formally justify the non-competitive procurement process, emphasizing both the technical requirements and critical safety concerns involved in this acquisition.
