This memorandum addresses the use of other than full and open competition for acquisitions below the simplified acquisition threshold, as outlined under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). It specifies circumstances where only one source is viable, such as urgency or exclusive licensing. The document includes a detailed description of required items, notably parts needed for a fuel oil service pump from the manufacturer Leistritz, required for ship operational capabilities. The urgency is heightened due to the critical nature of the equipment, which, if failed, could impair the vessel's readiness. The memorandum also identifies the proprietary rights held by Leistritz and specifies that they are the exclusive source for the required items due to technical requirements and certification needs. Delays in procurement were noted due to technical research, but timely delivery is deemed essential for mission success. Overall, this document emphasizes justifying limited competition due to unique sourcing needs and the critical nature of the acquisitions for government operations.
