About this file
This document is a Justification for Sole Source procurement for a specialized pressure sensitive tape, Document Number 5337-7907, under the small acquisition procedure (SAP) for purchases under $150,000. The specific product is a white, 2-inch wide by 60-yard long pressure sensitive tape manufactured by 3M with Part Number 361, designed for high-temperature applications with a temperature use range of -65° to 450°F. The tape features a silicone adhesive with exceptional characteristics including high temperature resistance, strong adhesion (38 oz./in. width to steel), high tensile strength (146 lbs./in. width), and abrasion-resistant backing. The document justifies the sole source procurement by emphasizing the tape's unique proprietary features and its specific approval for use in hot work areas at PSNS (Puget Sound Naval Shipyard), with PLUSSTAR, INC. listed as the authorized dealer. The procurement is dated 12/08/2025 and was signed by the Contracting Officer David W. Dunbar, certifying that the sole source justification meets procurement regulations.
