I.P-2 Brand Name_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File documenting a sole-source acquisition justification for replacement parts under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The acquisition involves Allen Bradley (Rockwell Automation) replacement components for portal cranes, procured through dealer representative OneSource located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The specific items include one NEMA size 5 contractor, two terminal lugs, four auxiliary contacts, and one connection bar with manufacturer part numbers specified (300-FOY9311, 100-ETL370, 100-ES1-B01, 100-ES1-B10, 100-ES1-11, and 100-PCE5). The intended use is replacing obsolete parts on portal cranes as part of equipment refresh initiatives. The contracting officer, Quincey Lee Dillenback, approved the procurement on May 12, 2026.

The justification for sole-source procurement is based on Brand Name requirements, as documented in Section B. The rationale emphasizes that these OEM direct replacement parts are already in use on other cranes within inventory and at other shipyard locations, enabling inventory standardization and compliance with Crane Alteration Requests (N32253-10-041, N39040-12-023, and N32253-23-036). The parts were designed for seamless compatibility in form, fit, and function with existing systems, and procurement from alternative manufacturers would not guarantee compatibility. Nicole Banash, an Electrical Engineer with PHNSY & IMF Code 700, provided the technical certification confirming the accuracy of the justification.
