This is a Commercial Only One Source Justification (Sole Source) document for NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers (FLC) issued in accordance with FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement covers electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection materials and components for Navy vessels, specifically an EMP conduit, stuffing tube swivel, box hub coupling, and box hub fitting. Purchase Request Numbers N62758606298800 through N62758606298803 are for direct replacement parts to refurbish junction boxes on existing Navy equipment. Competition is restricted to ICORE INTERNATIONAL INC (CAGE 05593), a large business with over 1,500 employees according to NAICS classifications. The justification for sole sourcing cites the critical compatibility requirements of EMP materials, noting that ICORE fittings have no compatibility with items manufactured by other companies. The document emphasizes that mixing multiple manufacturers increases failure likelihood and incompatibility risks, and that NAVSEA recommendations require using the same manufacturer for all EMP materials to ensure proper interface and testing compatibility. The document also notes that CS/KO confirmed ICORE parts on previous purchases and that multiple offerors would be received for those purchases. The Equipment Specialist for NAVSUP FLC Yokosuka Supply Department (C520) certified the justification on 3/19/26, with FLCPS Contracting Officer Lily Nguyen signing on 3/1926.
