USNS WILLIAM MCLEAN SIMS Pump

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Memorandum For The Record" justifying the "Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition" for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. It details the product or service being procured, the intended use, and the basis for sole-source procurement.

This document indicates that the government intends to procure a "SEAWATER CHARGING PUMP ORDER" specifically a "SIMS PUMP" with a required delivery date of 07/27/26. The justification for sole-source procurement is based on SIMS PUMP owning proprietary rights to the drawings and selling directly without distributors, and that the specific model "SIMS PUMP/N18297-A75 10000-4X3-10" is only sold through SIMS. This information is critical for potential bidders to understand why this opportunity may not be open to general competition and to assess if they can meet the specific requirements if the opportunity were to be competed.
