This is a Sole Source Justification document from NAVSUP FLC Puget Sound for a brand name requirement under solicitation N218694325W434. The requirement is for three (3) 24" Butterfly Valves Lug Style (P/N: 24BG677315) manufactured by MCC Holdings, Inc. (Crane Valve North America) for use with a saltwater suction strainer isolation valve.

The justification establishes that only OEM Crane parts can be used, as Crane Valve North America owns the proprietary rights to the replacement parts, technical information, and drawings. The document emphasizes that using non-OEM parts would not be compatible and could result in personal injury or equipment failure, particularly noting the risk of flooding while servicing/cleaning the strainers. These valves are direct replacements for port and starboard side sea chest strainer isolation valves. The document is certified as a valid brand name justification that precludes full and open competition.
