This is a Sole Source or Brand Name Justification Form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers used to document the rationale for restricting competition on a federal procurement.

The procurement concerns service and overhaul of two Denison Legacy Steering Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) Main Hydraulic Back-Up Pumps, Model PVP61H, for a U.S. Navy vessel. The justification is classified as a Brand Name Requirement, with Denison Hydraulics identified as the manufacturer. The form documents that this procurement is limited to sources authorized to perform repairs on the Denison Legacy 61 Series Product. The government asserts that the requested material and service represents the minimum requirements. The justification cites patent, copyright, and proprietary data restrictions, referencing the official U.S. Navy Technical Manual that explicitly identifies Denison Legacy Pumps and Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics (RMH) as the authorized manufacturer. The form emphasizes that the pumps are direct replacements for the vessel's mission-critical Steering Hydraulic Power Unit system, and that any replacement parts must match exact physical dimensions, connection interfaces, and performance characteristics of the original RMH-manufactured pumps. Failure to match these specifications would prevent proper installation and compromise the steering system's operational integrity. The form was completed on February 14, 2025, and requires signatures from the requesting Business Agent, FLCPS Contracting Officer, and Level Above Contracting Officer for approval.
