This document is a NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers Sole Source/Brand Name Requirement form for procuring specific maritime equipment. The requirement is to acquire two (2) UARS-52 CLASS SHAFT SEAL FACE CHANGE KIT, MX 9 DRAWING H72738-01, part number WLP001434-002 and two (2) ARS CLASS MAJOR OVERHAUL KIT, ES RUDDER STOCK DRAWING US72718-01, part number JCL001078-000. Defense Maritime Solutions (DMS) is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and the document emphasizes that these components are uniquely engineered, proprietary, and critical to system compatibility. The form indicates that procurement from any alternate source would jeopardize system integrity and could result in operational failure, thus justifying the sole source procurement approach.

The document provides detailed rationale for the brand name requirement, highlighting that the Face Change Kit and Rudder-stock Overhaul Kit are custom-designed, non-generic items specifically matched to the exact configuration, tolerance, and functional interfaces of the original equipment. The form is marked as representing the minimum requirements of the government, and it includes certification that the statements are complete, correct, and do not contain classified information. The procurement process acknowledges that this sole source justification precludes competition to the maximum extent practicable.
