4.01b Att 2 - Redacted JA.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the use of brand name only procurement authority.

The Commander Navy Region Hawaii (CNRH) Regional Boat Maintenance Center (RBMC) is seeking to award Brand Name Only Supply Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) to fulfill inventory needs for Yamaha Outboard Engines and Parts over a five-year period (FY22 through FY26). The procurement is being conducted by Naval Supply Systems Command, Fleet Logistic Center Pearl Harbor (NAVSUP FLCPH). The supplies include various parts for maintenance on multiple sizes of Yamaha engines, as well as complete replacement engines for phase-out and replacement of existing engines. The specific quantities for parts and engines across each fiscal year are indicated in a table but are redacted in the provided document.

The brand name only restriction is justified under 41 USC 1901(e)(2) through FAR 13.501(a) because the 22 Port Operations boats are configured exclusively for Yamaha outboard engines, and switching to alternative manufacturers would be impractical and cost-prohibitive. The rationale cites significant negative impacts on standardization efforts, including the need for multiple diagnostic software systems, OEM training programs, specialized tooling, and six-month inventory maintenance for different manufacturers. Using non-Yamaha engines would require extensive boat alterations requiring NAVSEA approval. The contracting activity has conducted market research through sources sought notices on NECO.GOV and SAM.GOV, with three offerors expressing interest, and identified additional authorized Yamaha dealers through SBA searches. The fair and reasonable cost determination has been made by the Contracting Officer. The point of contact is Troy Wong at Fleet Logistic Center Pearl Harbor, (808) 473-7532 or troy.wong1@navy.mil.
