    This memorandum discusses the justification for using other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold, referencing FAR regulations. It specifies that only one source will be solicited due to various restrictive factors, including proprietary rights held by Allied Systems Inc., the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the required repair parts for the Allied Crane onboard the USNS Mercy. The document outlines that these parts are crucial for maintaining ship safety and functionality. There is an emphasis on the need for standardization of parts for compatibility with existing equipment, and a recognition of the extraordinary urgency due to potential negative impacts on mission-critical operations. The anticipated dollar value of this acquisition is not explicitly stated but is implied to be under the simplified acquisition threshold. The overall purpose of the memorandum is to formally document the reasons for limiting competition in this specific procurement situation.
