1.3.5 1301363128 Under SAT BNJ (KO Signed)_Redacted.pdf

This is a Commercial Only One Source Justification document submitted by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers in accordance with FAR 12.102(a) for Purchase Request Number 1301363128. The requirement is for one Hobart Conveyor Dishwasher, Model CL44-BAS+BUILDUP (C44A RH 240/60/3), to be supplied for the MSC USNS Richard E. Byrd (T-AKE 4). The sole manufacturer identified is ITW Food Equipment Group LLC, doing business as Hobart Service, classified as a small business with CAGE Code 28873. Contact information includes website www.hobartcorp.com, phone (888) 446-2278, and email Customer.Support@hobartservice.com.

The justification restricts competition to this single brand based on technical and safety requirements specific to TAKE-class vessels. Direct replacement parts fitted on TAKE vessels must be compatible in form, fit, and function, with any variations from the OEM part potentially causing personal injury or equipment damage. The Hobart conveyor dishwasher is identified as critical safety equipment on ships, particularly cruise vessels, as it is essential for preventing foodborne illness outbreaks and maintaining public health standards in confined galley settings. The equipment processes large quantities of dishes while maintaining uniform temperatures to ensure proper sanitization, which is more effective than manual washing. The justification cites COMSC Instruction 4490.1C regarding mission equipment and critical ship safety systems, establishing that only authorized design control sources may provide these critical safety items. The document includes certification that the statements provided are complete and correct and represent the minimum government requirement.
