Justification for Sole Source CAN EM SING-036-26 Rev 4_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement form (less than SAT threshold) for emergency repair services to a Hydraulic Prime Mover vessel system under contract N6275826PRSG049. The procurement is restricted to Brightsum Marine as the sole source provider due to specialized technical requirements and urgent operational constraints.

The required service involves immediate emergency cleaning and hydrostatic pressure testing of the Hydraulic Prime Mover to address high temperature alarms and system contamination that prevent the vessel from accomplishing critical port visits for refueling and provisioning. The justification specifies that specialized weight test services must be conducted concurrently with the cooler certification to ensure compliance with safety requirements for the Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat Sling Assembly. Brightsum Marine is identified as the only source capable of providing the required technical certification and hydrostatic testing services due to pre-positioned calibrated testing rigs and localized equipment in Singapore, with authorized certified testing entity status and immediate availability of calibrated weights and load cells. The justification emphasizes that conducting a standard competitive solicitation would require 15-30 days for solicitation, evaluation, and award, creating unacceptable schedule risk to mandatory underway maintenance requirements and resulting in an estimated 5-day extension to system downtime. The document includes certification sections for technical and requirements cognizance and contracting officer approval of the single source procurement authority under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2).
