1.3.5 20260003922 SSBN Redacted.pdf

Document Type: One Source/Brand Name Justification in accordance with FAR 12.102(a)

This justification document authorizes a sole source procurement by the Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Centers (NAVSUP FLC) for OEM Quincy Air Compressors specifically for installation on the USS Lewis B Puller (ESB-3). The purchase request number is 20260003922 with an award deadline of September 29, 2026 and required delivery by December 28, 2026. The justification restricts competition to Quincy Compressors through its Regional Authorized Distributor, C.H. Reed Inc. (Cage Code 7G690), with the manufacturer contact being Michael Rogers at 804-553-9524 and miker@chreed.com. The OEM is classified as a large business (Cage Code 6XDG3, inactive in SAM) while the authorized distributor qualifies as a small business.

The justification cites regulatory requirements from the United States Coast Guard and ABS that mandate only OEM Quincy air compressors be used for this shipboard equipment. Additional justification notes that MSC Fleet Vessels are directed to use only OEM parts per COMSCINST 4490.1, and Quincy retains all design drawings, tolerances, and original parts manufacturing specifications. The document emphasizes that alternative replacement parts would compromise equipment reliability and effectiveness, and that any work performed by non-OEM companies would void equipment warranties. The OEM is currently inactive in SAM, with sales inquiries directed to the authorized regional distributor.
