    1.17 Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf
    This memorandum addresses the justification for using non-competitive procurement for a service requirement under the simplified acquisition threshold. It notes that, as per FAR 13.106-1, Contracting Officers may opt to solicit from a single source under certain circumstances, including emergency requirements and exclusive licensing agreements. The specific service pertains to the Shipboard Helicopter Handler, Extra Low Profile aboard the USS Minneapolis and USS Wichita, which requires refurbishing to OEM specifications. The determination for limiting competition rests on the identification of Curtiss-Wright Fleet Solutions as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the sole source for the required services. The memo lacks detailed metrics regarding urgency or a specific timeline for delivery. It emphasizes technical certification under the Contracting Officer's supervision, affirming the accuracy of the justification provided. The document is structured in a clear format, layering background, descriptions, justifications, and required approvals necessary for proceeding with the acquisition. This reflects adherence to federal procurement policies while streamlining necessary repairs to maintain critical military assets.
