This is a Brand Name Justification form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers for high pressure air compressor overhaul parts required for WI 582 in FY25 ROH/DD for USNS vessels. The justification specifies ULMATEC Services LLC (Sperre Compressors) as the required manufacturer, with a required delivery date of March 31, 2025.

The justification cites multiple reasons for the brand name requirement: Military Sealift Command Safety Management System Procedure Number 10.6-002-ALL requires OEM certified parts and technicians; T-AKE Class start air compressors are critical for starting MDGs and EDG; Sperre Compressors is the OEM for all compressors on board with proprietary rights to drawings and technical data; and both ABS and USCG will not allow installation of non-certified compressor parts. The parts are direct replacements for existing equipment, with Sperre having exclusive proprietary rights to all drawings and technical data needed for 5-year maintenance and recertification of the Air Compressors. The document confirms this represents the minimum requirements of the government.
