    This memorandum addresses the use of limited competition for an acquisition related to the USNS Medgar Evers. It cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), allowing solicitation from a single source when circumstances, such as urgency and exclusive licensing, justify it. The requirement involves a check valve from Ferguson Industrial to replace critical ship equipment, needed by May 2, 2025. The document details proprietary rights held by Trident Maritime Systems, which owns the drawings for the valve material. The urgency of the acquisition stems from the valve's critical function, as its failure could hinder vessel operations. The procurement, determined as urgent, follows a delay due to technical research, with a necessary lead time of 10 to 12 weeks. The memorandum concludes that limiting source solicitation is essential to meet the urgent delivery requirement, maintaining ship readiness and mission capability.
