About this file
This is a Justification for Sole Source Procurement document (TRFB 4491/3, Rev. MAR-2026) for a federal contract valued between $15,000 and $350,000.
The contracting activity, DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound, is procuring optical alignment equipment from Brunson Instrument Co. (8000 E. 23rd Street, Kansas City, MO 64129; phone 877-632-7873) under sole source authority. The required item is a 4" Magnetic Mirror with Right Angle Eyepiece for Auto collimation & Reticle Projection, See-Thru Target, Spherical Fit Adapter, and 2-1/2" Magnetic Mirror, used to optically align submarine masts through vertical optical alignment. The justification establishes that no substitutes are available and competition must be restricted to this single source. The procurement is controlled by the 730/67H activity and is marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in the PROCURE/SSEL category with Federal Only distribution restrictions. The document, referenced as S73067H1058-63, cites three primary justifications for sole sourcing: (1) Brunson is the entity that trained the organization's mechanics and provides the specialized precision optical instruments, scales, targets, stands, and accessories required; (2) the equipment must be compatible with existing systems loaned from PSNS, and owning a dedicated set enables more efficient work; and (3) optical alignment of submarine masts cannot be performed without this specialized equipment. The Contracting Officer is Wintersteen Tricia Kathryn I. (022611009), with POC Ian Hovey (360-315-1231).
