    other than full and open_Redacted.pdf
    This memorandum justifies the use of other than full and open competition for acquiring an Allied Davit Kit and Release Hook, under the simplified acquisition threshold. The requirement, for replacement parts for the Allied Systems DC-8600CTS, is due by March 13, 2026. The determination is based on several factors: Allied Systems Company is the sole source due to exclusive licensing agreements as the contracted designer and installer. They possess unique knowledge and expertise to ensure material compatibility for the USNS Mercy. Additionally, the item is critical ship equipment, and the procurement adheres to MSC's standardization initiative for the Allied Systems DC-8600CTS, found on T-AH 19 and 20. The parts must be compatible in form, fit, and function. MSC lacks the manufacturing and technical information to evaluate non-OEM parts, and only authorized OEM representatives have the specialized tools and expertise required to work on this sophisticated equipment while adhering to USCG, ASME, SOLAS, and ABS certifications.
