1.3.5 1301342804 Brand Name_Redacted.pdf

This is a Commercial Only One Source/Brand Name Justification document filed by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers (FLC) in accordance with FAR 12.102(a).

The justification covers stuffing tubes for sound powered jack boxes (part numbers M24235 variants) to be procured from Research Tool & Die Works, the sole identified manufacturer. The procurement spans purchase request numbers 6B2758-6908-9900 through 6953 and 6115-6940 through 6944. The items are required as direct replacements on multiple Navy ships stationed in Yokosuka during upcoming maintenance availabilities. The government asserts that Research Tool & Die Works parts are proprietary and intellectual property, with no confirmed compatibility with alternative manufacturers' products. The justification emphasizes that functional failure of these stuffing tubes would be dangerous, as sound powered phones using these jack boxes are critical for emergency damage control situations aboard ships. The document certifies that the requested materials represent the minimum government requirement and that processing this sole source justification precludes competition to the maximum extent practicable. The form includes signature blocks for the requiring activity representative and the FLCPS Contracting Officer, though specific names, dates, and contact information are redacted in the document.
