This memorandum addresses the use of non-competitive procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold for the acquisition of oil mist eliminators from MECS, Inc. It explains the rationale behind soliciting from a single vendor, as allowed by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which includes factors like urgency, proprietary rights, and brand-name standardization. The item, required for repairing existing equipment, is critical for operations and is only available from MECS, Inc. due to proprietary rights over the drawings and materials, and the need for compatibility with current systems.

This document exemplifies the adherence to federal regulations in procurement processes while ensuring that critical operational needs are met efficiently.
