This document is a NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers Sole Source/Brand Name Justification form for a specific naval equipment procurement. The requirement is to acquire one Penberthy eductor for a vacuum sewage collection system, with a required delivery date of 01 January 2026 and an estimated total cost of $31,456.00. The item is a specific part (1 EA, P/N: 4LHSST, EDUCTOR, LH4, W/ 3" MNPT THREADED INLET) for a marine vessel, with Red Fox Environmental Services, Inc. listed as the dealer/representative.

The justification highlights that Penberthy, a division of Clark-Reliance, is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these critical eductor parts. The document emphasizes that only OEM-manufactured parts can ensure compatibility, safety, and compliance with existing equipment specifications. Additional justification is provided through references to COMMSCINST 4490.1, which supports using OEM parts for critical shipboard systems, and by noting that alternative non-OEM components could compromise system reliability and performance.
