This memorandum addresses the use of non-competitive procurement for an acquisition that falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for Federal contracts. It cites the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) that permits solicitation from a single source under specific conditions such as urgency or exclusive rights. The item required includes various electrical components manufactured by Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and the need arises for inventory restocking by July 19, 2024. The justification for selecting only this supplier hinges on restrictive rights concerning proprietary designs and the necessity of maintaining compatibility with existing equipment, emphasizing the risks involved if non-OEM parts are used. The estimated cost for this procurement is $13,838.43, highlighting the need for a streamlined acquisition process due to time constraints and unique requirements associated with naval equipment maintenance. The document calls for various approvals from involved officials, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards throughout the acquisition process.
