1.3.5 1301364330 YT STRAINER BN.pdf

This is a Brand Name Requirement Justification Form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers documenting a sole source procurement decision for replacement seawater strainers.

The procurement is for replacement seawater strainers for the Valiant Class Tug Fleet (YT-807) operated by CFAY Port Operations, with a required delivery date of November 21, 2026. The specific items required are: one 1.5" Kraissl Model 72-38F Duplex Strainer, one 2" Kraissl Model 72-40F Duplex Strainer, four 4" Kraissl Model 72-48F Duplex Strainers, and two 2.5" Kraissl Model 72-16FL Simplex Strainers, all requiring B-61 Bronze with Monel 400 baskets and 1/32" perforations conforming to ASME B16.24 standards. The manufacturer is The Kraissl Company, Inc., located at 299 Williams Avenue, Hackensack, NJ 07601-5225, with POC webinfo2011@kraissl.com and phone 201-342-0008. The authorized dealer is Ryan Gilbert (Control Factors - Seattle, Inc.) at 425-483-5613, located in Auburn, WA.

The justification for the brand name requirement centers on the Valiant Class tugboats' mission-critical seawater cooling system and the incompatibility of non-OEM strainers with existing piping and equipment. The document asserts that only Kraissl brand strainers can fulfill the requirement due to direct replacement specifications, proprietary design considerations, and standardization across the YT fleet to minimize training and maintenance requirements. The requested material represents the minimum requirements of the government, and the contracting officer has certified that all statements and information provided are complete and correct.
