Sole Source Justification Summary

This is a Sole Source Justification document submitted by the Department of the Navy (indicated by the naval seal) for a simplified acquisition under $250,000. The procurement covers a Hyster Perkins Forklift Transmission Replacement for Procurement Group ECF: B-01, with an estimated delivery or period of performance of 60 days after contract award.

The contracting officer (Beverley Rhamdeow) approved the sole source basis on 7/16/2026, supporting the acquisition of the Hyster H280HD transmission component. The justification is based on integrated engineering factors specific to the transmission's compatibility with the Perkins engine power curve and hydraulic demands of the H280HD forklift. The rationale documents that generic substitutions or after-market alternatives are not feasible due to critical compatibility issues, including unique serial numbers, specialized torque converters/planetary gear systems, and integrated engineering specifications that prevent cross-model use. The document emphasizes that only Hyster Perkins brand transmissions can serve as replacement options, making a substitute brand-name product impossible for replacement purposes. The requirement owner, Darryl Scott, certified the factual accuracy of the justification on 07/16/2026.
