B2 Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification document under FAR 13.5 simplified procedures for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) contracting activity at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, WA to award a sole source contract to Bermingham Controls, Inc. The justification covers off-site technical representative repairs and replacement parts for four Leslie Valves Model PTLHNS-2 to restore them to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards on a US Navy NIMITZ class aircraft carrier.

The document justifies Bermingham Controls as the only source with the required proprietary design drawings, specifications and technical expertise to perform the OEM repairs. The work must be completed, tested and equipment reinstalled by September 2, 2025 to meet fleet mission scheduling. The contracting officer has determined pricing will be fair and reasonable based on historical data, government estimates and FAR 13.106-3 procedures. The requirement will be synopsized on SAM.gov for 5 days, though no other sources are expected to be capable of meeting the OEM requirements. PSNS&IMF does not plan to compete future contracts for these services unless other qualified sources emerge.
