Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Memorandum For The Record" dated May 26, 2026, justifying the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. It identifies the need for "Central Sea Water Pump parts" for a central sea water pump, with a required delivery date of September 30, 2026. The required source is specified as "Sims Pump Valve Co."

The justification indicates that Sims Pump Valve Co. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds proprietary rights to the drawings. It also cites "STANDARDIZATION" and "COMPATIBILITY" requirements, specifying "Simsite SMS 300" and related parts (e.g., 5363B, 5363A) as necessary for maintaining fleet configuration baseline and ensuring compatibility with existing equipment on "All T-ake Vessels." This suggests that only parts from Sims Pump Valve Co. or specifically compatible parts meeting these criteria are being considered, potentially limiting competition to this manufacturer or its authorized distributors.
