    The memorandum details a determination that only one source is reasonably available for a federal procurement under FAR Part 13, specifically for the Allen Bradley Power Flex 750 AC Drives and associated components necessary for the Camp Lejeune Wastewater Utilities. The request underscores the urgency and critical nature of these drives, which play an integral role in controlling the sewage pump flow rates, directly impacting the efficiency of the wastewater collection system. Rockwell Automation is cited as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive proprietary rights to these drives, while McNaughton-McKay Electric Company is identified as the sole authorized distributor. The memorandum justifies the absence of competition by stating that alternative solutions would require significant re-engineering for compatibility, confirming the necessity for brand-name equipment due to established cyber security requirements under USMC guidelines. The required items are expected to be delivered by September 30, 2024, reinforcing the time-sensitive nature of the acquisition. This document is part of the federal acquisition process aimed at ensuring compliance with procurement regulations while addressing critical infrastructure needs at the facility.
