JA HERBORNER PUMP_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) memorandum for a non-competitive procurement of Herborner Vacuum Pumps for the Military Sealift Command (MSC). The procurement is for sewage pump replacement on the USNS ROBERT E. PEARY (T-AKE 5), with a required delivery date of 9/30/2025. The justification for sole-source procurement is based on multiple factors, including Herborner Pumps' proprietary rights, critical ship equipment status, and standardization requirements.

Key procurement details include the use of EVAC North America as the sole authorized distributor, who is registered in SAM.gov. The acquisition is deemed critical because the pump is essential ship equipment where failure could pose a hazard to the ship, crew, or environment. The procurement requires a one-to-one swap to maintain OEM warranties and functionality, with the specific Herborner Vacuum Pump model being a direct replacement for existing equipment. The document indicates the procurement is within the simplified acquisition threshold and does not require full and open competition.
