_x_Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

Check valve, 32-36 week lead time.

4"x4" vacuum valve, 44-48 week lead time

_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.

Check Valve The Val-Matic Check Valve is an updated version of the existing damaged Val-Matic Check Valve. The two valves have identical functionality and the same physical dimensions.

Therefore, purchasing this particular Val-Matic check valve allows us to use it with current system requirements and with current piping layout. In addition, because these valves are the same, we are able to use portions of the current valve as replacement parts if needed in the future.

Vacuum Valve This component is required due to system design requirements. Currently the existing system uses two separate components; one to release air when pumps begin to fill the system and one to allow air intake when pumps are secured and water flows back into the system.

The Val-Matic design and functionality is perfect for the system requirements. No other vacuum valve will function as required with current system requirements.

x 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.

The replacement valves have the required form, fit and function as the system components being replaced. The difference is these valves are more robust and manufacture with materials applicable is seawater application.

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

Patent on the check and vacuum valves.

x These are "direct replacements" parts/components for existing brand name equipment.

x Other information to support a sole-source buy:

These two components will bolt directly to the current system without requiring any costly system modifications. All current hardware can be reused. Current pump-well systems that interface will interface with these components so no additional costs will be associated with system modifications. All supporting maintenance procedures are applicable to these two components. No additional maintenance tooling or administrative tasking will be required. No specialized training is required.

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.
