This is a Brand Name Justification form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers documenting the requirement for Akron Brass 1-1/2" NH Shipboard Vari-Nozzles. The document (N231984322S091) justifies a brand name requirement for 33 nozzles under procurement number 1301217579.

The justification explains that NH threaded nozzles are mandatory to prevent damage or malfunction of the fire hose system, and these specific vari-nozzles are required to supplement a newly installed fire station onboard ship and must receive certification from ABS and the U.S. Coast Guard. The nozzles are direct replacements for current, non-compliant fire nozzles and must be compatible in terms of form, fit, and function. Multiple distributors were identified to supply the Akron Brass 30200003 1-1/2" NH Threaded Vari-Nozzles. The document confirms this represents the minimum requirements of the government and is marked as a brand name requirement rather than sole source.
