Brand Name Statement 1_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification form for NAVSUP FLC Puget Sound, focusing on procurement of specific coating products from Sherwin-Williams Company. The justification covers multiple epoxy and methyl amyl ketone coating materials with document number N62758-5106-6300 THRU 6305, with a brand name requirement checked and Sherwin-Williams identified as the sole manufacturer.

The document provides detailed rationale for the sole source procurement, including that these coating products must be procured from Sherwin-Williams because they are the only source supplying materials in accordance with NAVSEA instruction, with products from other vendors being unacceptable due to incompatibility with shipboard applications. The justification emphasizes that SRF JRMC is using Sherwin-Williams products in their cleaning and painting process, requiring coats from the same manufacturer, and that Sherwin-Williams controls the product's characteristics through its MSDS, specifications, and intellectual property. The document is dated from December 2021 and involves the NAVSUP FLC Yokosuka Supply Department, with planned signatures and approval dates in 2025.
