About this file
This document is a justification for a sole source procurement of Waterhog entrance mats. The Navy requires thirty entrance mats from Waterhog in various standard sizes, with a total estimated cost of an undisclosed amount and a required delivery date of July 1, 2024. The justification for restricting competition to Waterhog notes the mats' durable NFSI-certified slip-resistant backing and unique water dam border make them stain, fade, water and moisture resistant to prevent damage to existing floating floors. Previous brands of mats failed to adequately protect the floors or reduce noise, which is critical for simulator training where distractions could lead to course failures and termination. The mats must be compatible with the facility's existing Waterhog mats.

WaterHog features a durable NFSI certified slip-resistant rubber backing, and the unique Water Dam border, stain resistant, fade resistant, water resistant and guaranteed not to rot mold, mildew or shed. Waterhog mats also aid with noise reduction and water/ beverage spills to prevent damage to the electrical components underneath the existing floating floor. Other brands of floor mats were previously used; however, they failed to protect the floating floor and reduce noise. The facility teaches upwards of 700 students at any time in a combination of classroom and simulator settings. Noise reduction is critical to ensure there are minimal distractions in the learning environment. Many of these courses include simulator training where distractions during an assessment could result in the failure of the course and termination of their career as a Surface Warfare Officer.
