    This memorandum outlines the justification for utilizing other than full and open competition for an acquisition regarding the main diesel engine hose replacement aboard T-AKE class ships, specifically through the Hampton Rubber Company. Citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the document indicates that the government may solicit from a single source when only one vendor can fulfill specific requirements, particularly due to urgency and proprietary rights. The replacement is deemed critical, as failure of the equipment poses risks to ship safety, crew, and the environment. The memo highlights that Hampton Rubber Company is the proprietary manufacturer approved by the American Bureau of Shipping to supply necessary components, asserting justified restrictions on competition. The anticipated completion date for delivery is set for September 30, 2025. This streamlined acquisition is essential for maintaining operational safety and ensures compatibility with existing ship systems. Overall, the document is a formal request to contract a single-source supplier, affirming the importance of standardization and proprietary rights in federal procurement processes.
