This is a Commercial Only One Source/Brand Name Justification (NTE SAT) document submitted by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers (FLC) in accordance with FAR 12.102(a).

The requirement is for the purchase of LED lights and mounts onboard naval vessels. The items being procured include six specific part numbers with quantities totaling 157 units: EM3-MAX-WF-277-480-50K-B1-NMIL (41 units), EM3-HI-MF-277-480-50K-B2-NMIL (25 units), BMK-LO/HI/MAX,MC2/MC3/EM2/EM3,1054207 (41 and 25 units respectively), PTM-MAX TENON MOUNT STEEL 2-3/4" (41 units), and PTM-LO/HI 2 3/8 INCH TENON MOUNT (25 units). Competition is restricted exclusively to Phoenix Products LLC as the sole source manufacturer. The justification asserts that Phoenix Products LLC retains patents, copyrights, and proprietary data that limit competition to purchasing their branded parts. The document contends that these replacement parts are necessary to maintain functionality, safety, and compliance with original equipment specifications, and that non-OEM components may result in system failure or degraded performance. Additionally, it states that MSC lacks the manufacturing and technical information required to reverse engineer or procure alternative replacement parts without compromising reliability and effectiveness.
