This is a Commercial Only One Source/Brand Name Justification document submitted by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers in accordance with FAR 12.102(a). The document justifies restricting competition to a single source for the procurement of SCBA Bauer Compressor parts required for the T-AKE class vessels, with a required delivery date of July 31, 2026. The Protrack number is 20260003288, and the estimated cost (including options) is redacted in the document.

The justification establishes that Bauer Compressors, Inc. is the sole available source for these replacement parts because the SCBA compressor is unique to the T-AKE class and was developed specifically for that vessel class. Only approved technical representatives and providers are authorized to service this equipment, and OEM representatives have exclusive access to provide parts and technical data/drawings required by USCG and ABS certification for maintenance. The document notes that MSC lacks the manufacturing and technical information necessary to evaluate whether non-OEM components would be equivalent to OEM parts. Bauer Compressors, Inc. has one authorized distributor for Washington state. The procurement is governed by SMS 10.4-001-ALL policy, which ensures vessel equipment is maintained in accordance with OEM recommendations, MSC policy, and regulatory body requirements. The certifying official confirms the statements are complete and accurate and that the requested materials represent the minimum government requirement.
