42781200 ss_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source ($5k-$250k) document referencing FAR 13.106(b) for document number 4278-1200. The justification is for a 36-inch pathway bellow assembly (P/N J56800-1) to be procured from Senior Flexonics Pathway Division, with manufacturer POC Bob Tilghman and dealer location in Seattle, WA.

The justification establishes that the existing shipboard installed bellow must be replaced with an exact duplicate manufactured by Pathway to ensure proper form, fit and function. The drawings J56800-1 are proprietary to Senior Flexonics Pathway Division, and the material/service must be fully compatible with existing systems. This is considered a direct replacement part for existing brand name equipment, with the proprietary data limiting competition. The document is signed by Contracting Officer David W. Dunbar on 12/03/2024 and references DLA Maritime Puget Sound.
