4.07 Justification for Brand Name - REDACTED.pdf

This document is a Justification for Brand Name for Simplified Acquisitions, specifically for supplies from Diving Unlimited International (DUI). The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expeditionary Support Unit Two (EODESU2) is requesting dry suit gear and accessories, including dry zip gloves (heavy-duty with liners) in various sizes, rock boots in multiple sizes, and consumable neck and wrist seals. The total order includes 25 large and 25 extra-large gloves, 20 medium gloves, 5 rock boots each in sizes 14, 15, 7, 8, and 9, along with 100 neck seals and 100 wrist seals.

The justification emphasizes that the gear must be compatible with existing systems, specifically noting that DUI drysuits are stocked with a CF200 attached drysuit sock for direct use with DUI's RockBoot, ensuring natural fit. The document indicates these are direct replacement parts for existing equipment, as the EOD is procuring DUI manufactured drysuits to cover TOA driven phased replacement shortfalls. The procurement is part of existing PLT requirements, with the gear being used as direct replacements for current equipment in NAVSSA ANU list approved to interface with MK 16 MOD 1 diving systems.
