Justification for Sole Source 1_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Sole Source procurement. The government intends to procure shelving systems from Metal Dynamics, Ltd. for the Navy's ship stores. Metal Dynamics is the approved and authorized supplier of these shelving systems, which are specified in the Navy's General Specifications for ships. Using the Metal Dynamics shelving systems allows for greater flexibility, interchangeability, and ease of procuring replacement parts across the fleet, as they are installed on the majority of ships. Metal Dynamics has proven to be a superior design and manufacturing source, and their products are suitable for the rigorous shipboard environment. The use of any other source has a high probability of causing delays and additional growth work. This is therefore a sole source procurement under Solicitation Number N0018924QR042, "NEXCOM Shelving and Binning", issued by the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command.
