    This memorandum addresses the justification for using other than full and open competition for an acquisition that falls under the simplified acquisition threshold. It cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), stating that Contracting Officers can solicit from a single source when only one source is reasonably available due to urgency, licensing exclusivity, or similar conditions. The requirement involves the provision of OEM support from Austal USA for troubleshooting IMCS redundant server faults, with a performance window from April 21 to May 16, 2025. The determination for lack of competition is based on several factors: Austal USA has proprietary rights to unique software and maintenance procedures, and the equipment can only be serviced by the OEM to maintain warranties and reliability. Additionally, the equipment is considered critical, and the failure to procure it could jeopardize the ship’s operations or safety. The urgency of the supply is emphasized, indicating immediate needs to avoid mission disruption. Supporting documentation is required to establish the legitimacy of the exclusive licensing agreement and to justify the necessity for limited source solicitation.
