X Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or particular brand name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

C/740 and C/2370 are requesting the above Load indicating devices and their support equipment (remote displays/installation totes) to replace older load indicating devices that are in need of replacement. These are the upgraded model load cell, model: 6360. They are approved by C/740, C/2370, and the calibration lab to be used and maintained at Puget

Sound Naval Shipyard.

____The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the

Government.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

X The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Justi Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

These load cells are an upgraded model then we normally purchase, but they are the same fit, function, brand, dimensions, capacity as the current load indicating devices being used in critical/nuclear evolutions. The new model has been approved to be maintained by

C/740, C/2370, and S/52 calibration lab. We have to use the same brand/type of load indicating devices because they are written into critical path lift sketches due to dimensions, capacity, calibration tolerance, and reliability.

____A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:

____These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing brand name equipment.

____Other information to support a sole-source buy:

These are replacing older equipment (outdated model) that cannot be calibrated/put back into service. We need a certain amount of load indicating devices in our refueling/SPS

C/740 inventory and this purchase will update our inventory.

I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE COMPLETE AND CORRECT

TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND DO NOT CONTAIN CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT

THE PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION.
