BRAND NAME.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File documenting the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition under FAR 13.106. Washington Mills Tonawanda is the manufacturer for a SHOPSTORE LSN 5350-HM-CN0-9875, #24 MESH BLASTITE, ALUMINUM OXIDE, intended for Naval Ship Repair at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. The procurement is justified under the "Brand Name" category, as the Blastite brand #24 mesh blasting media has been consistently used at PHNSY and has exceeded performance expectations, with attempting to qualify other products being prohibitively costly and potentially disruptive to ship work schedules.

The document indicates an 8-week lead time following award, with the dealer representative being Mr. Sandman from a company located in Honolulu. The technical certification is provided by Robert Yanke, a tech professional from Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard's LCE Contractor, who digitally signed the document on 12/10/2024. The material is considered HAZMAT and is authorized for use based on its inclusion within the PHNSY Authorized User List (AUL), which is brand name and manufacturer specific.
