    This memorandum addresses the use of non-competitive bidding for an acquisition of thrust bearings under the simplified acquisition threshold. It references FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), allowing for solicitation from a single source when only one vendor is available due to factors like urgency or exclusivity. The thrust bearings, needed to replace existing ship components, will be procured from RENK USA. The memorandum outlines that RENK USA holds proprietary rights over the related materials, emphasizing the critical nature of these parts for ship operations. Failure of the thrust bearings could result in mission-capability loss during operations and pose hazards to personnel and the environment. The estimated procurement value is $90,478. Approval and certifications are required at various levels within the organization to reinforce the justification for this sole-source procurement.
