This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document from the Department of the Navy's Strategic Weapons Facility, Atlantic (SWFLANT) in Kings Bay, Georgia, seeking to procure GE 6KVA GE LP-11U-6 Series UPS units for the Explosive Handling Wharf (EHW-1) under a brand name justification.

The justification establishes that these specific UPS units are the only ones certified by facility coordination drawings that directly interface with equipment used in EHW operations. The same UPS units were previously installed at EHW-2, and maintaining identical equipment at both facilities is crucial for safe operations. The units have been field-tested to meet minimum requirements for sensitive equipment, and any deviation could cause equipment failure during mission operations. Market research found no other sources meeting the requirements. The requirement will be synopsized on SAM.gov per FAR Subpart 5.2, and while future similar requirements will be competed when possible, no feasible alternatives currently exist to the selected manufacturer.
