Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum to the File for a non-competitive acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold for USS SAN ANTONIO (LPD-17). The procurement involves two specific work items: (1) a Bridge Ramp Slip Coupling repair by Jered LLC (Mfr Id: 180001, APL: 31A030105), and (2) a Number 7 Air Conditioning Compressor Motor install by Hansome Energy Systems Inc. (Mfr Id: A-445-198-GR2, APL: 17A010002). Both work items are part of the OCONUS Voyage repair (SERM-037-26) to accomplish emergency repairs during the fourth fleet deployment.

The memorandum justifies the sole-source procurement under the "Brand Name" provision, requiring specific Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized service providers for each component. The Contracting Officer must provide an authorized OEM service provider for both the bridge ramp slip coupling and air conditioning compressor motor, following the directive outlined in the Composite Work Package (CWP). The document indicates that the procurement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and will involve an authorized OEM service provider for rigging support and equipment installation.
