As is your model is detected as valid surface mesh.
This is because you have many duplicated vertices.
If you merge them (using something like [1] for example)
you will end up with a mesh with only one boundary cycle.
It is not stitch-able because it is would produce a set of non-manifold
edges.

From there, depending on what you want to do with the model, you can
still try to close the model but you'll endup with some
self-intersection.
