1.04 Sole Source Jusitifcation Signed_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Sole Source (Simplified Acquisitions) for acquiring two (2) Band Clamps and two (2) Copper Stops with Part Number J175766. The total estimated cost is $5,617.53, with a quote provided by Jared LLC for Band Clamps (Price: $540.77 EA) and Copper Stops. The procurement is for the U.S. Navy, specifically through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department.

The sole source justification indicates that only two Copper Stops have been previously installed, and the current equipment is produced by the same manufacturer (OPR) as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The parts are considered "direct replacement" components for existing equipment that was never originally installed. The document includes certification by a Logistics Specialist, dated 15-Jul-2025, affirming the accuracy of the information and that the procurement precludes full and open competition in accordance with federal acquisition regulations.
