1.04 Sole Source Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document submitted to support a simplified procurement procedure for supplies under the micropurchase threshold (MPT) to small purchase threshold (SAT).

The procurement is for six two-hundred-volt actuator rotary harmonic drives from Flow International Corporation, the original manufacturer of the parts required. These drives are needed to repair a Flow Jet water fabrication machine located in Virginia Beach, VA 23459, with a delivery requirement of 30 days after receipt of order (ARO). The sole source justification is based on three primary factors: the supplies must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing Flow Jet equipment; Flow International Corporation holds patent, copyright, or proprietary data that limits competition as the sole original manufacturer of all Flow Jet parts and materials; and these are direct replacement components for currently installed drives in Flow Jet equipment. The contracting officer, FRECH.JOSEPHL.LAWRENCE.1073193164, representing NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department Fleet Directorate, has determined that the circumstances justifying only one source are reasonably available and applicable to the contract action. The specific cost is redacted in the document.
