About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for use of other than full and open competition in a federal procurement.
Navy Computer and Telecomm Area Master Station Pacific (NCTAMS PAC), contracting through NAVSUP FLC Pearl Harbor, is procuring reconditioning, replacement, preventative maintenance, engineering support, and infrared scanning services to replace faulty circuit breakers (DSII-632, 3200AF/3000AT models) in the facility's main power distribution system. The requirement includes two new spare main and tie breakers, two reconditioned Class 1 breakers, a preventative maintenance report, and an infrared scanning report. The procurement is being justified under FAR 6.103-2 (unusual and compelling urgency) and is limited to simplified acquisition threshold purchasing. The required delivery/performance period is 07/06/2026 to 07/05/2027. The contracting officer determined that only one responsible source can fulfill this requirement due to the specialized nature of the proprietary, high-amperage industrial breakers and the need for exact compatibility with existing switchgear infrastructure. An authorized regional distributor is identified as the sole source capable of providing the required components and specialized engineering services. The justification emphasizes that using alternative breaker models would introduce significant technical risks, void equipment certifications and warranties, and necessitate costly custom modifications and re-engineering of the facility's power coordination study. The procurement request number is 1301377040. The document includes technical certification, requirements cognizance, contracting officer certification, and approvals dated 06/15/2026. Estimated costs are redacted in the document.

USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION SAT
1. Identification of Agency and Contracting Activity
Agency: Navy Computer and Telecomm Area Master Station Pacific (NCTAMS PAC)
Contracting Activity: NAVSUP FLC Pearl Harbor
2. Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Approved
Reconditioning, replacement, preventative maintenance, engineering support, and infrared scanning is needed to replace faulty circuit breakers ISO CASREP 26006 to ensure the safety, reliability, and operational continuity of the facility's main power distribution system. This preventative action mitigates the risk of catastrophic failure, which could lead to extended power outages and mission degradation.
3. Description of Supplies/Services to Meet the Agency's Needs Including Estimated Value

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition
1. FAR 13.106 1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).
2. As required by FAR 13.106 3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:
A. ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE No
1. Restrictive Rights No The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.
2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements No The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.
3. Other Reasons Yes Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source
As implemented by FAR 6.103 2 Unusual and compelling urgency
Obtaining a proper diagnosis for the problem(s) is urgent to be able to identify, plan for, and execute the action steps for resolution of CASREP 26006.
Government vetted all necessary information in support of CASREP.
B. BRAND NAME
Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer. Discuss why you are precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Describe how the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements and why a "brand name or equal" purchase description cannot be used (see FAR 11.104). Describe how market research indicates other companies' similar products or products lacking the particular feature do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency's needs
C. UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY Yes
The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:
Discuss why you are precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Describe how the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements and why a "brand name or equal" purchase description cannot be used (see FAR 11.1014). Describe how market research indicates other companies similar products and products lacking the particular feature do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency's need.

The requirement is for the replacement of components within an existing, integrated electrical switchgear system. To ensure compatibility, safety, and maintainability, the replacement breakers must be an exact match for the existing DSII-632, 3200AF/3000AT model. Only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or its authorized distributors can supply the specific make and model required to fit the existing switchboard without extensive and costly modifications.
The use of any other breaker would introduce significant technical risk and would likely void equipment warranties and certifications. The existing infrastructure is standardized on this specific breaker. Introducing a d odel would require a complete re-engineering analysis, a new coordination study, and potentially hazardous custom busbar modifications. is a local, authorized distributor for these proprietary components. Therefore, they are the only identified source capable of providing the re services.
Due to the specific combination of proprietary, high-amperage industrial breakers paired with specialized, on-site engineering and reconditioning services requesting support through an authorized regional distributor. The replacement parts must be an exact match to the existing DSII 632 models to ensure safe integration. Procuring a different brand or model would introduce severe technical risks, void existing certifications, and necessitate costly, hazardous custom busbar modifications and a complete re-engineering of the facility's power coordination study. There is a critical and urgent need for this CASREP which may not allow for the time required for a competitive procurement process.
1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:
2. Required delivery date/period of performance: 07/06/2026 to 07/05/2027
3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required: Explain the impact to the mission if the date above is not met, any special circumstances or conditions that exist which validate the requirement as "urgent," estimated production lead time for the item, etc.
