Attachment 2 Sole Source Just_Red.pdf

This is a Limited Source Justification (SAP) document dated 09/30/2020 authorizing the use of other than full and open competition for a federal acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The acquisition concerns scheduled maintenance and unplanned parts/repairs for three Universal HIGHPACK Model 55H75 high-pressure air compressors located at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Detachment San Diego. The justification cites restrictive rights as the basis for single-source procurement, asserting that American Compressor Company (ACC), the Original Equipment Manufacturer, is the only responsible source capable of performing required maintenance and repairs. ACC has stated in writing that they do not authorize third-party service providers to work on these units and that personnel lack necessary training and qualifications. The justification notes that failure of these compressors would directly impact pier-side operations requiring high-pressure air support, creating mission-critical consequences. The document emphasizes that replacement with alternative equipment would result in significant financial burden and require new staff training. The technical certification was signed by Kent Pearson on 08/03/2026, and contracting officer approval was provided by Anthony Barker on 08/03/2026. The document follows FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) requirements for single-source acquisitions below the simplified acquisition threshold and includes mandatory certifications and approvals sections.
