This memorandum outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for a procurement action under the simplified acquisition threshold. The acquisition involves services from Micro Motion, Inc. for a JP-5 fuel system, with a required delivery date of April 22, 2025. The document cites that only one source is reasonably available due to proprietary rights held by Micro Motion, Inc., which owns the drawings necessary for this equipment. Additionally, technical and manufacturing information essential for evaluating alternative components is not accessible to the government. The anticipated dollar value for this procurement is $12,625.96, which falls below the simplified acquisition threshold. Various factors justify the non-competitive process, including proprietary rights, the need for standardization in parts, and the critical nature of the equipment for operations. The memorandum includes required certifications and signatures from several officials affirming the accuracy of the presented information.
