This document is a NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers Sole Source/Brand Name Requirement form for procurement of a specific naval equipment component. The document requests a Chloropac controller (Part Number W3T346111, Quantity: 1) for the electrochlorination system installed on the USNS Charles Drew, with a Required Delivery Date of 8/12/26. The procurement is specifically for a direct-replacement Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component from Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., INC., which is the only authorized manufacturer.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on the controller's proprietary and unique technical specifications. Xylem is the original equipment manufacturer and the only provider capable of producing a fully compatible unit with the existing system. The document emphasizes that the controller contains proprietary firmware, programming logic, and interface hardware that must precisely match the existing Chloropac system. No third-party vendors can provide the necessary technical data, software, or programming information to create a compatible replacement, making Xylem the exclusive source for this critical naval equipment component.
